Case at a glance
Result: Confidential Settlement
Practice: Oilfield Injuries
Attorney: Brian Beckcom
Delayed care at the well site
Lloyd worked as a field hand for an oil-and-gas company when he suffered a head injury. His employer kept him in a truck at the well site for more than an hour and a half before allowing him to go to an emergency room.
The company notified its quality, health, safety and environment personnel. Because Lloyd had not lost consciousness, company personnel initially assumed he was unharmed. Doctors later identified a concussion and damage to his spine.
Lasting limits on work
Before the injury, Lloyd had worked since age 15. His activities included construction work and refereeing football games.
Three years after the incident, post-concussion symptoms and nerve damage continued to affect him. He could not perform manual labor or work requiring prolonged sitting or standing. He considered starting a business that could accommodate those restrictions.
A confidential settlement
Brian handled Lloyd’s lawsuit against the oil-and-gas company. The case ended in a confidential settlement.
