Offshore and Maritime Injury

Offshore and Maritime Injury

There are unique and complex challenges that come with offshore and maritime injury cases. The oilfield and maritime industries are vital to Louisiana, but they can also be extremely hazardous. When accidents occur, workers and their families face significant hardships, including serious injuries, financial losses, and uncertainty about the future.

Brian Caubarreaux & Associates handles a variety of offshore and maritime injury cases, including:

  • Admiralty Law: We are well-versed in the laws governing maritime operations and vessels, ensuring injured workers receive proper compensation for their injuries.
  • Aviation and Helicopter Accidents: Offshore and oilfield workers often rely on helicopters for transportation. When accidents occur due to negligence or faulty equipment, we work tirelessly to hold the responsible parties accountable.
  • Products Liability: Injuries caused by defective equipment, tools, or machinery on vessels or rigs are grounds for compensation. We pursue claims against manufacturers for their faulty products.
  • Longshore Claims: Workers injured on docks, harbors, or other maritime locations may be eligible for compensation under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
  • Jones Act Claims: Seamen injured while working on navigable waters have special protections under the Jones Act. We fight to ensure they receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and more.

Offshore and maritime injury cases require a thorough understanding of complex federal and state laws, as well as the unique hazards of oilfield and maritime work. Our experienced attorneys have the knowledge and determination to guide you through every step of the legal process, ensuring you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.
