OIL RIG

Persons working on gas and oil barges, rigs and platforms may be entitled to maritime benefits under the Jones Act and general maritime law, including for some injuries sustained on land or on service vessels servicing these work locations.



We have represented oil and gas barge/platform workers in Louisana, Florida, New Jersey, Massachuessets as well as over seas in Saudi Ararbia, and workers part of the Military Sea-lift Command.

Oil and Gas platform work is extremely dangerous. Many injuries occur during transfers from the service vessel to the barge or platform.

Claiming Jones Act benefits as a oil and gas worker may add significantly to the amount of recovery. Typically, workers compensation pays nothing for pain and suffering, whereas a claim under the Jones Act has no limit on the amount of pain and suffering damages.

Phone or e-mail us if you are an injured oil and gas platform or barge worker. We are happy to discuss with you, no obligation, whether you may have a maritime claim.
