Offshore maritime workers have a high-risk job. Though their work is a fundamental part of our Gulf Coast economy, they are at risk to serious injuries on a daily basis like:
- Equipment malfunctions
- Explosions and fires
- Falling equipment
- Falling overboard
- Helicopter crash going to or from a vessel
- Jack-up rig accidents
- Gas leaks
- Electric shock
Other offshore injures on boats and barges or at drilling operations are governed by numerous federal statues, like the Jones Act and Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, that allow employees and their families’ compensation for injuries and medical costs.
