Oil Rig Accident Attorney & Maritime Lawyers
A worker who receives an injury on an oil rig may qualify for coverage under the Jones Act and Maritime Law as a “seaman.” Oil rig accidents that occur on non-stationary oil rigs may indeed fall under the Jones Act which grants more rights of recovery to the injured worker than normal workman’s compensation. But, the Jones Act also involves a higher burden to prove the claim of recovery and a more complicated and burdensome process to receive full compensation.
All possible seamen who receive oil rig injuries should consult with a maritime attorney to review their claim for qualification under the Jones Act. Specialized maritime lawyers possess the knowledge and skill sets necessary to collect the requisite evidence to prove the required negligence to affect recovery. A maritime attorney with Burwell Nebout will successfully and aggressively navigate your case through the complexities of a Jones Act claim for full compensation.
