Our attorneys specialize in representing oilfield workers injured in drilling rig accidents, equipment malfunctions, and hazardous material exposures. We conduct comprehensive investigations to identify liable parties, including equipment manufacturers and safety contractors. With deep industry knowledge, we secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term care needs through settlements or jury verdicts.
Maritime Injury Claims
We advocate for maritime workers injured under the Jones Act and other federal maritime laws. Our team handles offshore drilling accidents, barge collisions, and shipyard injuries. We coordinate with OSHA experts and marine safety professionals to prove employer negligence. Clients receive full-service representation from incident investigation through trial proceedings in state and federal courts.
Wrongful Death Litigation
Our firm represents families who lost loved ones in workplace accidents, oilfield explosions, and transportation incidents. We pursue claims against responsible parties across multiple states, including Texas and Louisiana. We work with forensic economists to calculate future financial losses and secure compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional distress.
Burn Injury Cases
We handle severe burn injury cases caused by refinery explosions, chemical spills, and equipment failures. Our attorneys collaborate with burn specialists and reconstructive surgeons to document lifelong care needs. We pursue claims against equipment manufacturers, safety consultants, and energy companies to cover medical costs and pain-and-suffering damages.
Industrial Accident Claims
Our team represents workers injured in manufacturing plant accidents, warehouse incidents, and construction site explosions.
