If you're hurt while working in the oil or gas industry, NM Workers' Compensation Attorneys LLC is here to help. We know that all claims, accidents, injuries, and case facts are different, but no matter the details, on-the-job injuries can be one of the most devastating life events you can suffer. From lost income to the effects of your physical injury, these legal battles can take a toll on you, especially if you're unfamiliar with the workers' compensation process.
Benefits you may receive from the
New Mexico Workers' Compensation Act after an accident or injury when you have proper representation include wage replacement while you recover from your injury and payment of your medical bills from authorized healthcare providers. This act, however, is complex, with vague laws and areas of uncertainty where you need to negotiate to ensure you get the full benefits you deserve.
Types of Injuries and Challenges Faced by
Oil & Gas Workers
Severe Burns from Explosions or Fires
Workers running high-pressure equipment and combustible chemicals run the danger of suffering terrible burns. Our company has assisted customers in obtaining complete medical coverage and reimbursement for long-term burn-related treatments.
Head Injuries from Falling Objects or Equipment Malfunctions
Head injuries can have life-altering effects regardless of the source—a tool dropped from a height or equipment breakdown. We make sure wounded employees get medical attention for continuous healing as well as full pay.
Respiratory Issues from Exposure to Toxic Chemicals
In oilfields, long-term exposure to dangerous gasses and chemicals can cause chronic respiratory issues. Our team assists clients in obtaining benefits from filing an oil and gas injury claim to continuing medical treatment, including specialist therapies.
Musculoskeletal Injuries from Heavy Lifting & Repetitive Tasks
Common for workers handling heavy gear or tools include back injuries, joint strain, and repetitive motion injuries. We help clients obtain their oil and gas worker injury rights for lost earning potential, recuperation, and surgery.
Mental Health Challenges, Including Post-Traumatic Stress
Particularly after seeing accidents, the high-stress, dangerous nature of oilfield employment might cause PTSD or anxiety. A vital component of workers' compensation payouts, mental health treatment is something we support.
Amputations & Permanent Disabilities from Machinery Accidents
Workers with catastrophic injuries like amputations or paralysis may not be able to go back to the field. Where at all possible, our lawyers seek lifetime disability compensation and vocational retraining.

Procedure for Submitting a Claim
1. Report the Injury to Your Employer Immediately
New Mexico law mandates workers report injuries within 15 days. Early reporting starts the workers' compensation procedure and maintains your right to claim benefits.
2. Seek Medical Attention from an Approved Provider
Companies could send injured employees to particular doctors. Strong claims depend on accurate records of injuries, hence we make sure customers have this.
3. File a Workers’ Compensation Claim
File your claim within the designated period to the New Mexico Workers' Compensation Administration. Our lawyers help to correctly finish documentation and handle possible conflicts.
4. Engage Legal Representation for Appeals or Complex Cases
Should benefits be rejected, postponed, or inadequate, our team advocates for just recompense. When called for, we offer professional direction on navigating hearings, mediation, and litigation.
