Many accidents could be preventable, but due to the nature of business, the lack of education, and the training of roughnecks and other workers, people will get hurt. Gas and oilfield-related accidents can happen because of negligence committed by many entities working at any drilling or production job site.

Negligence is a legal concept that refers to the failure of an individual or entity to exercise a level of care that a reasonable person would have exercised in similar circumstances. To prove negligence in a legal context, the following elements must typically be established:

• Duty of Care: The defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff. The relationship between the parties and the case circumstances usually defines this duty.
• Breach of Duty: The defendant breached this duty of care by failing to act as a reasonable person would have acted in similar circumstances. This can include actions taken by the defendant or failures to act when there was a duty to do so.
• Causation: The defendant's breach of duty caused or contributed to the plaintiff's injury or damages. There must be a direct link between the defendant's actions and the harm suffered by the plaintiff.
• Damages: The plaintiff suffered actual harm or damages due to the defendant's breach of duty. This can include physical injuries, property damage, emotional distress, or financial losses.

In essence, negligence involves a failure to exercise reasonable care that harms another party. It is a critical concept in tort law and forms the basis for many personal injury claims.
