Our Pittsburgh-based PA, WV & OH plaintiff’s lawyers represent oilfield workers seriously injured or killed in oil and gas well and drilling rig accidents, such as blow-outs and gas well explosions on the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know oil and gas drilling rigs, operations, and terminology.\u00a0 We know the hard work roughnecks, roustabouts, drillers, toolpushers, rig managers, company men, mud loggers, other rig hands, oilfield service company employees, consultants, and contractors perform, and the dangers these workers face on the job.<\/p>\n

Before returning to the northeast, G&O attorney Fred Goldsmith was a trial lawyer at two law firms in Houston, Texas, where he represented major and independent oil and gas companies, onshore and offshore drilling contractors, oilfield service contractors and suppliers, and commercial vessel operators, in admiralty & maritime, personal injury and death, property damage, and commercial claims and disputes which arose in the oilfields of Texas, Louisiana, and the Gulf of Mexico.\u00a0 He and his partner, Rich Ogrodowski, have built on this experience in oilfield injury litigation to help injured rig and pipeline workers and their families in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio.<\/p>\n

Contingent Fee Representation: No Recovery, No Fee<\/h4>\n

We handle oilfield, gas well explosion and fire, pipeline explosion, drilling rig serious injury and death cases on a contingent fee basis.\u00a0 We also advance the costs for the lawsuit, including the fees of experts and consultants. This means a client will not owe us a fee unless and until there is a settlement or judgment in the client’s favor.\u00a0 When\/if such occurs, the client would then owe us the agreed-to fee and any case expenses (such as court reporter charges, medical records fees, expert witness fees, etc.).<\/p>\n

We Know How to Win<\/h4>\n

We know hard work wins cases and details matter when it comes to investigating and preparing an oilfield injury or wrongful death case for trial.\u00a0 We are known for our thorough research into the facts and the law of the cases we take on, and the compassion we have for our clients and their families.<\/p>\n

Having been deeply involved in significant personal injury and wrongful death litigation for collectively more than 45 years, we understand the medical issues surrounding the serious injuries that can occur in oilfield injury cases, such as orthopedic injuries, neurological injuries, and serious burns. We also know how devastating, both economically and emotionally, it can be to lose one’s ability to earn a living, and for a family to lose a loved one.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
