Offshore injuries call for offshore experience.

Oil rigs, drilling platforms, and offshore vessels combine heavy equipment, harsh conditions, and isolation. When something goes wrong, injuries are often severe and getting to safety and care is difficult. Offshore workers are protected by maritime laws like the Jones Act, and we pursue the full value of these claims.

Offshore incidents we handle

Your rights far from shore

Offshore workers often qualify for protections under the Jones Act and general maritime law, which can provide a fuller recovery than ordinary workers’ compensation. Determining which law applies and preserving evidence from a remote worksite are critical early steps. We handle both so you can focus on recovering.

A note about deadlines. Strict statutes of limitation apply to injury claims, and claims against government entities carry much shorter notice deadlines. Evidence also disappears quickly. If you think you may have a claim, contact us promptly so your rights can be evaluated and preserved. This page is general legal information, not legal advice about any particular situation.

Frequently asked questions

Do offshore workers qualify for the Jones Act?
Many do. Whether you qualify depends on your role and connection to a vessel. An early evaluation determines which law applies to your claim.
Why are offshore cases more complex?
The worksites are remote, the equipment is specialized, and the governing laws are different from ordinary injury cases. Preserving evidence and applying the right law require experience.
What does an offshore injury lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — no attorney’s fee unless we win, and no case costs or expenses if there is no recovery.
How soon should I contact a lawyer?
As soon as possible. Offshore evidence is hard to preserve and deadlines are strict, so prompt action protects your claim.
