Common Hobbs accidents

Oilfield Workplace Injuries

Falls from drilling rigs, equipment failures, explosions, chemical exposure — Permian oilfield work is among the most dangerous in the country.

Commercial Truck Crashes

Water trucks, sand haulers, frac trucks, and crude oil tankers operate in massive numbers throughout the Permian. Crashes are catastrophic.

Lease Road Accidents

Unpaved or poorly maintained oilfield lease roads produce serious crashes — particularly involving fatigued drivers on extended shifts.

DUI Crashes

Lea County has historically high DUI rates given the 24-hour oilfield work culture.

New Mexico law

Statute of Limitations: 3 Years

Pure Comparative Fault

Workplace Injury vs. Third-Party Cases

Oilfield injury victims often have both workers' comp claims and separate third-party claims against contractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners.
