Oilfield & Gas Injuries Pre-Settlement Funding

Working in the oil and gas industry is dangerous. If you’ve been injured on the job, you know firsthand how quickly life can change. Between medical bills, lost wages, and the pressure to keep supporting your family, financial stress can hit just as hard as the injury itself. Pre-settlement funding can help ease that burden while your case makes its way through the legal system.

At Baker Street Funding, we understand how devastating life can be after an oilfield or gas accident. That’s why we offer non-recourse advances to help injured plaintiffs get back on their feet. You only repay if you win your case—if you don’t, you owe nothing. Our experts are here to support you every step of the way.

What Counts as an Oilfield or Gas Personal Injury?

Oilfield and gas accidents typically fall under personal injury law when negligence, recklessness, or violations of safety standards are involved. While workers’ compensation usually covers on-the-job accidents, many injured workers also have third-party claims.

A third-party claim happens when someone outside of your employer is responsible for your injury—for example, an equipment manufacturer, subcontractor, or negligent driver near the worksite. Pre-settlement funding is generally available for these third-party claims, since traditional workers’ comp cases are only fundable in limited states (Alaska, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wyoming.)

Quick Fact: Over 4,000 workers are injured each year and more than 100 are killed in the U.S. oil and gas extraction sector due to job-related accidents.

Common Types of Oilfield and Gas Injuries

These accidents are often catastrophic. Injuries can include:

• Burns and explosions – Fires caused by equipment failure, gas leaks, or unsafe practices.
• Spinal cord and back injuries  – From falls, collapsing rigs, or heavy lifting.
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) – Due to falling equipment, vehicle collisions, or blowouts.
• Broken bones and amputations – Often tied to machinery accidents.
• Toxic exposure – Long-term illness caused by chemicals, gas leaks, or unsafe ventilation.

These are life-changing injuries that not only impact your health but also your ability to work and provide for your loved ones.

Why Pre-Settlement Funding Matters

Personal injury cases—especially those involving oil and gas companies—take time. Insurance carriers and corporate defendants often delay settlements, knowing plaintiffs are under financial strain. That pressure can force injured workers to accept low settlement offers just to pay past-due bills.

Pre-settlement funding changes that. By providing you with a cash advance against your potential settlement, you get the breathing room to cover essentials like:

• Rent or mortgage
• Medical bills and rehabilitation
• Groceries and household expenses
• Car payments and transportation
• Childcare or family support

Because these advances are non-recourse, you don’t risk your personal finances. If your case doesn’t settle in your favor, you don’t pay the money back.

Legal Considerations in Oilfield Accident Cases

Oil and gas injury claims are often tied to both state and federal safety laws. For example:

• OSHA regulations require strict workplace safety protocols in oil and gas operations. Violations can strengthen negligence claims.
• Product liability laws may apply if defective equipment or machinery caused the injury.
• Comparative negligence laws in states like Texas and Oklahoma can impact recovery amounts, reducing damages if you’re found partially at fault.

These legal factors directly influence the potential settlement value—which also impacts how much funding you may qualify for.
