Oilfield Equipment Accident
Broken Jaw
$687,000 Net to Client
Our client was a wire line operator in the oilfield. While running some test equipment on a well, the threads on a well head joint failed, causing the well head equipment to blast off the well head and strike him in the face. Our client had serious jaw injuries and facial injuries. We were able to demonstrate that the oilfield equipment had an improper combination of tapered threads and straight cut threads which were a mismatch. That equipment had been supplied in a mismatched condition from an oilfield equipment supplier who was ultimately liable for the accident.
