Platform / Oil Rig Injuries

In platform / oil rig injury cases, it is often quite difficult to determine which law is applicable. This is why you need an experienced maritime attorney to ensure you are being treated fairly and your claim is properly pursued.

Working on oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere is dangerous work. Even just transferring from the service vessel to the barge or platform can be risky. If you've been hurt doing Oil Patch work, your rights under maritime and admiralty law can vary widely, depending on the circumstances and your type of injury. For example, if you were hurt on a jack-up rig or floating rig or under certain other circumstances, you might get favorable treatment as a “seaman” under the Jones Act(link). Delay in exploring your options can destroy your rights.

Our maritime personal injury attorneys can quickly sort out which laws apply to your injury and fully explain and protect your rights.

Whether you are a crew member on a platform or floating rig, a diver, helicopter crew member or other crew member, protecting your future is a phone call away. Call 1.800.USA.GULF right now to learn how to protect yourself and your family. We work for you!
