Offshore Injuries

An offshore injury may be described as an injury experienced by a maritime worker while he or she is working at sea. These injuries may occur as the result of an accident, or a worker may fall ill after continued exposure to benzene or other toxins. An offshore injury may range from relatively minor to debilitating or life-threatening. Because of the exorbitant medical costs and financial losses that may arise from these injuries, it is important to determine what right an injured seaman may have to financial compensation in the wake of an injury. Seamen have particular legal remedies that may be available to them after a serious accident, injury or illness. These may be covered under the Jones Act, Longshore Act or various other areas of maritime law. At our offshore injury law firm, our primary mission is to protect the rights of seamen in order to help them seek and recover the fair compensation to which they are entitled by law.
