The type and amount of compensation you receive will depend on the particulars of your own accident and the severity of your injuries. Compensation in a major injury case like an oil field accident can sometimes take the following forms, however:
Payment of medical bills
Prescription drug reimbursement
Help with the costs of long-term care and rehabilitation
Payment of wages lost due to time away from work
Physical and mental health treatment
Damages for pain and suffering
Reimbursement for loss of household income
Funeral and burial arrangements
Consult with your attorney to get a better understanding of what compensation may be available in your own case and how it could help with your own medical bills and other expenses.
