Marcelllus Shale Accident Lawyers

Marcellus Shale is a rock formation that extends deep underground from Ohio and West Virginia into Pennsylvania and southern New York. The Marcellus Shale holds one of the largest reserves of natural gas in the United States—hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas. Geologists have known about this rich reserve of natural gas for years but until now it has not been economically feasible to tap this energy source.

Recent innovations in drilling technology, including horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, coupled with higher energy prices, have greatly increased interest among exploration companies in mining natural gas from the Marcellus Shale. However, the rapid expansion of the shale gas exploration industry in Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Maryland has introduced the risks of serious accidents, explosions, worker injuries, property damage and environmental harm.

Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation

On average, 90,000 people are injured at work in Pennsylvania. People injured while on the job enjoy certain rights under the law. Initially you must seek attention from a company doctor. Only after 90 days of seeing a company doctor do you have a right to choose your own doctor. Be sure that you notify your insurance company within 5 days of this change to ensure that your doctor is paid.

All persons injured at work should immediately seek a consult with an experienced attorney. Far too frequently, we see people who were too trusting. Many times the system that was designed to help the worker, really works against them. The system makes it difficult to collect compensation for work-related injuries by putting the burden on the injured worker. This is why it is so important that injured workers understand their legal rights.

Workers' compensation can mean the difference between a devastating personal tragedy, bankruptcy or divorce, versus a dignified recovery and survival. It is vital that you have an experienced and aggressive lawyer.
