There are few more dangerous places to work than an oil field-traumatic brain injuries, fractures, concussions, burn injuries and lacerations are far too common. In most instances, those accidents were easily preventable, caused by the carelessness or negligence of another person. If you or someone you love has suffered needless injury in the oil fields in New Mexico, we can help.
