Seamen, deckhands, divers, roustabouts, roughnecks, derrickmen, drillers, boat captains, motormen, boatswains, crane operators, floormen, rig mechanics, tool pushers, fishermen, and others who work on or near the water, whether on rivers, lakes, or offshore play a vital role in the Louisiana Economy. The brave men and women who perform these jobs do so at a significant risk of injury as they are very dangerous professions in very dangerous environments. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, simple contact with equipment in the offshore or oil drilling environment is the second leading cause of death to workers.
Employees who man their post at these sites can often encounter situations that cause extremely severe injuries. Many of these injuries can leave the workers with medical bills, lost wages, loss of the ability to work long term, or in the worst cases, be killed, leaving their surviving family members without their loved one and without the ability to cover burdensome financial obligations.
If you or someone you know has been in a situation like this, it’s important to contact a local Maritime or Offshore Accident attorney to discuss their options in compensation for their work-related injury.
