Personal Injury

At The Shore Firm Firm, oilfield work isn’t something we study from textbooks—it’s something we’ve lived. Michael and Kenneth Shore come from a third-generation Texas oilfield family, and Kenneth spent years as an oil and gas operator and owner of an energy services company, working directly with drilling, production, and field operations across Texas. He understands the long hours, harsh conditions, and very real dangers oilfield workers face every day.

That background matters when someone gets hurt. When you’re injured in the oilfield, you need more than a lawyer—you need an advocate who understands how the job is supposed to be done, what safety rules apply, and when companies fail to follow them. At The Shore Firm, we use deep industry knowledge to stand up for injured workers and their families, holding negligent companies accountable and fighting for the compensation and justice you deserve.

Oil and gas operations involve heavy equipment, high pressure, hazardous chemicals, and strict safety requirements. From drilling rigs and workover operations to pipelines, tank batteries, and production facilities, the risks are well known—and so are the safety standards designed to protect workers. Kenneth Shore’s experience as an operator and service-company owner means he is familiar with API recommended practices, OSHA regulations, and the real-world application of industry safety procedures.

When accidents happen, we know what questions to ask:

• Was the equipment properly maintained and inspected?
• Were API and OSHA standards followed—or ignored?
• Were workers properly trained, supervised, and protected?
• Did production pressure or cost-cutting lead to unsafe decisions?

The Shore Firm represents oilfield workers across Texas who have suffered serious injuries from explosions, blowouts, equipment failures, vehicle accidents, fires, toxic exposure, and other catastrophic incidents. We understand the equipment involved, the workflow on location, and the shortcuts that sometimes lead to tragedy. That operational insight allows us to uncover negligence, challenge unsafe practices, and present clear, credible cases to insurers, judges, and juries.

For injured workers and their families, the stakes are enormous—lost income, long-term medical care, and an uncertain future. Our mission is straightforward: protect the people who keep Texas running, demand accountability from those who put profits over safety, and secure fair compensation when preventable accidents change lives forever.
