Jacksonville sits near the heart of East Texas oil and gas operations. While the industry fuels our economy, the work itself carries serious risks. Oilfield jobs involve heavy equipment, volatile materials, long hours, and high-pressure environments, conditions where a single mistake can lead to devastating injuries.
When an oilfield accident happens, injured workers may face extensive medical treatment, time away from work, and uncertainty about how they’ll support their families.
If you were injured while working in an oilfield near Jacksonville, you don’t have to handle the fallout alone. Biggs & Greenslade have spent years advocating for injured oilfield workers throughout East Texas. We step in to protect your rights, push back against insurance companies, and pursue the compensation you need to move forward.
A former U.S. Marine and district prosecutor, Kenneth Biggs brings relentless advocacy and extensive trial experience to every oilfield injury case. He’s committed to holding powerful companies accountable when workers are harmed.
John began his career representing insurance companies, giving him firsthand knowledge of how claims are delayed, denied, or undervalued. Today, he uses that insight to fight for injured workers and demand fair treatment.
With a background as a prosecutor handling complex and sensitive matters, Annie provides steady guidance and determined advocacy. She works closely with injured workers to help them secure a safer and more stable future.
Morgan combines sharp legal analysis with practical problem-solving. With experience in public service and personal injury litigation, she guides clients through the legal process so they can focus on healing.
Your actions after an oilfield injury can impact both your health and your legal rights. Taking the right steps early can strengthen your claim.
Let your supervisor know as soon as possible. Waiting too long can give employers or insurers an excuse to question what happened.
Seek medical attention immediately and choose your own doctor when possible. Employer-selected physicians may not prioritize your best interests and can use your medical information against you.
Returning too soon can worsen your injuries and undermine your claim. Your recovery should come first.
An experienced attorney can determine whether workers’ compensation applies or if you may have a third-party claim against other responsible companies.
After a serious workplace injury, employers often focus on limiting their liability. We regularly see companies and insurers attempt to:
Oil and gas companies have teams of lawyers and adjusters protecting their interests. You deserve the same level of protection.
Biggs & Greenslade step in to shield you from these tactics and ensure your rights are respected while you focus on recovery.
Serious oilfield injuries can affect every aspect of your life. Our Jacksonville oilfield injury attorneys pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries.

Physical pain, emotional distress, and mental strain are real consequences. When appropriate, we seek compensation for these losses.

Oilfield work around Jacksonville involves dangerous equipment and hazardous conditions, making severe injuries more likely when accidents occur.
In most Texas personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. Waiting too long can permanently bar your right to compensation. Acting early allows your attorney to preserve evidence and build a stronger case.
Oilfield accidents often involve multiple companies and contractors. Depending on the circumstances, responsible parties may include:
Texas has unique workers’ compensation laws. If your employer does not carry workers’ comp insurance, you may be able to sue them directly. You may also have valid third-party claims against other negligent companies. Biggs & Greenslade investigate every angle to identify all potential sources of compensation.
Companies and insurers often act quickly after an accident to protect themselves. We act just as fast to protect you.
We gather evidence, review safety practices, analyze records, and interview witnesses to create your case.
We handle all communications so insurers can’t pressure you into damaging statements or low settlements.
If your employer retaliates or threatens your job, we take action to protect your rights.
We fight for compensation that reflects both your immediate losses and long-term needs.
You don’t have to accept what an employer or insurance company says your case is worth. And you don’t have to navigate this process alone.
