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.

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.

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.

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.
