Your Legal Guide to Oil Rig Injuries

Our articles provide insights from oil rig accident attorneys, covering understanding oil rig injury claims & rights and how an oil rig injury law firm helps protect injured workers and their families.

How Can a Rig-Related Injury Attorney Help if the Injury Happened During Transport to the Platform?

Even if you got hurt on the way to the rig, our attorneys can help. We’ll investigate to find out what happened during transport and who’s responsible. We understand the complex maritime laws that apply in these cases, and we’ll make sure you get every penny you’re owed.

What Should I Do if I Was Injured While Working as a Contractor On An Offshore Rig?

As a contractor on an offshore rig, the process is a little different. Report the incident to both your employer and the rig operator right away. Then, reach out to us. We can walk you through your legal rights and options, and handle all communication with the company and insurance provider. Don’t try to handle this alone. Let Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys fight for you.

Can I Sue the Rig Operator Directly For Unsafe Working Conditions?

Yes, but it will depend on the specifics of your situation. Rig operators have to provide a safe work environment, and if they dropped the ball on that, you deserve compensation. Our team will build a strong case proving the operator was negligent. We’ll gather all necessary evidence, interview witnesses, and get you a fair settlement, even if the operator tries to deny responsibility.

Are Oil Rig Injury Claims Affected By Whether the Rig Is In State or Federal Waters?

Yes, where the rig is located can make a difference. Generally, rigs in state waters fall under state personal injury laws, while those farther offshore are governed by federal maritime laws. Your attorney will carefully examine where the accident happened and make sure you take advantage of every available legal avenue, whether that means filing a state claim, a federal maritime claim, or potentially both. The goal is to get you the full compensation you’re entitled to.

What Types Of Third-Party Claims Are Available After An Oil Rig Accident?

Beyond the rig operator, you may be able to file a claim against other parties, including equipment manufacturers and maintenance contractors. Your attorney will work to hold everyone responsible for your injuries accountable, even if they aren’t your direct employer.

Can I Still File a Claim if the Injury Was Reported Late Or Documentation Is Incomplete?

Yes! Our attorneys will piece together what happened, track down witnesses, and build the strongest possible case, even if you didn’t report it right away. The insurance companies may try to use late reporting and incomplete documentation against you, but we know how to fight that.
