Workers' Comp for Oil & Gas Workers in the Marcellus Shale

Lycoming County is at the heart of Pennsylvania's Marcellus shale natural gas region, and the industry has reshaped the local economy and the local injury landscape. Drilling rigs, fracking operations, gathering pipelines, and the heavy trucking that supports them all involve significant injury risk. Paula handles workers' compensation claims for drillers, derrickhands, roughnecks, frack hands, pipeliners, truck drivers, and the contractors who support them. 

Common injuries in oil and gas work include:

• Crush, pinch, and amputation injuries from rig and pipe equipment
• Burns and chemical exposure from drilling fluids, hydrocarbons, and fracking chemicals
• Falls from height on rigs and tanks
• Motor vehicle accidents on rural roads, often involving multi-axle trucks
• Back, neck, and joint injuries from heavy lifting and repetitive strain

Workers' compensation claims involving oil and gas work often raise unique questions about employer relationships, since drillers, operators, and contractors may all be involved in a single jobsite. Paula knows how to pursue the right benefits.

Workplace Injuries Across the Rest of Lycoming County

Beyond oil and gas, Lycoming County's workforce centers on manufacturing, healthcare, education, agriculture, and forestry. Major employers include UPMC Williamsport, the manufacturing companies along the Reach Road Industrial Park, Pennsylvania College of Technology, Lycoming College, and a substantial network of farms and timber operations throughout the rural reaches of the county. Paula represents workers from all of these settings, with cases ranging from production-line and equipment injuries in manufacturing, to patient-handling injuries in healthcare, to falls and equipment-related trauma on farms and in the woods.

What to Do After a Workplace Injury

The first hours and days following a workplace injury can be critical to your claim. Pennsylvania law sets a 120-day notice deadline, so the most important first step is to put your employer on written notice of the injury. Get medical care quickly and tell the doctor or emergency room staff that the injury happened at work, so the medical records reflect that connection from the start. Save copies of incident reports, photograph the scene if you can, and keep contact information for any witnesses. Before giving any recorded statement to an insurance adjuster, talk to Paula about what to expect.
