  2. The Gulf of Mexico is an area that offers many workers in the Houston area attractive, well-paying offshore jobs, especially in the oil and gas industry. Many of the occupations in the offshore industry are inherently dangerous, however, and workers can be injured in a wide variety of different accidents in these settings. Offshore accidents become very complicated legal matters, however, because the locations of accidents can mean that certain maritime or admiralty laws may apply to personal injury cases.

  3. Many different factors can complicate an offshore injury case, including the aforementioned jurisdictional issues relating to the case. Perhaps the first reason for hiring an attorney with a command of all relevant law is so you can be sure that you are seeking relief in the proper venue. Do I Need an Offshore Injuries Lawyer? Another important reason to work with a lawyer is because they have the skills to conduct an independent investigation into what happened. When an accident is the result of an employer’s negligence or because of defective equipment, for example, an attorney can gather all of the evidence needed to support your claim.

  4. Types of Offshore Injury Cases We Handle Jones Act — The Jones Act allows injured seamen to sue employers for financial compensation when the negligence of the employer or a fellow crewmember, or unseaworthiness of the vessel, caused the injuries. Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) — The LHWCA is essentially workers’ compensation for injured seamen and provides compensation for medical treatment and lost wages regardless of fault. Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA) — DOHSA allows the spouse, parent, or other dependent of a worker killed in international waters at least three miles offshore to recover damages when a death was caused by negligence or unseaworthiness.
