Houston Oil Rig Explosion Lawyers

Our Texas Offshore Explosion Attorneys Have Helped After the Nation's Largest Disasters

With volatile substances and heavy machinery, working on an oil rig has its risks. When the perfect sequence of events triggers an oil explosion, workers and their families' lives are changed forever. After an explosion, oil companies push the same narrative: oil rig work is dangerous, they value safety, and they did all they could to prevent the accident. At Arnold & Itkin, we’ve learned time and time again that this isn’t the truth. The truth is this: oil rig explosions are always the result of negligence.

Just because oil rig work can be dangerous doesn’t mean it’s acceptable when workers are seriously injured or killed. If you or someone you love has been hurt, our team is ready to help. When the crew of the Deepwater Horizon needed help after the worst oil rig accident in American history, they called us.

Our Houston, Texas offshore explosion lawyers have won billions. Whether you need an oil rig explosion attorney in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, or anywhere in the United States, you can trust us. When oil rigs explode, we're the lawyers people turn to most. Our resources, work ethic, and record of victories against the world’s biggest companies make us the team you can trust, no matter what.

No Matter How Tough
the Fight.

After an oil rig explodes, the companies at fault immediately go on the attack. They blame others, deny liability, and often leave workers with little to no compensation to recover from their injuries. When oil companies try to shift blame, deny responsibility, and unleash their armies of attorneys to defend their negligence, we draw a line in the sand. We’ve won more than $10 billion for clients by standing up to companies like Exxon-Mobil, BP, and Transocean when their negligence caused serious harm. We go all-in where other firms might give up, and our results speak for themselves. When companies see we're on the other side, they know they have a fight on their hands.

“They're fighting for these little people that can’t handle themselves when a giant comes. Almost like David and Goliath. It’s an amazing thing to see.”
Shawn Thomas Workplace Explosion Victim

We care about our clients, getting them justice, and rebuilding their lives—these are the things that make the fight worth it.
