Fort Collins Oil and Gas Industry Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

Workers' Comp Attorneys for On-the-Job Injuries in Larimer County, Weld County and Boulder County

When you have been injured in a car accident, the process for collecting compensation for your injuries is usually straightforward. You file a claim with the appropriate insurance company, your attorney negotiates a settlement, and the insurer makes a payment. Many workers’ compensation situations are similar in that they are relatively simple to settle. If you work in the oil and gas industry, however, obtaining workers’ compensation benefits for an on-the-job injury is likely to be much more challenging.

At Hoggatt Law Office, P.C., we understand that the oil and gas industry is a vital part of the economy in the state of Colorado. According to recent estimates by the Colorado Petroleum Council, the industry employs nearly 233,000 workers throughout the state—about 6.5 percent of Colorado’s entire workforce. Many such workers must endure harsh conditions while working in close proximity to complex, heavy equipment, and while employers take steps to keep their workers safe, accidents can and do happen. If you have suffered injuries while working in the oil and gas industry, you can rely on our attorneys to help you seek the benefits you need to get back on your feet.

Helping Victims Seek Justice in Northern Colorado

The oil and gas industry has generated trillions of dollars in revenues for a wide variety of energy companies and other entities involved in the processes of extraction, refining, and petroleum distribution. When an oil or gas industry worker is injured on the job, however, these companies often try to downplay the injury or otherwise attempt to avoid paying out workers’ compensation benefits. Employers may try to discourage injured workers from seeking medical attention or dispute the extent of the injuries. In extreme cases, injured workers may even be terminated for filing an accident report.
