How Is An Offshore Injury Different From An Onshore Injury?
Video Transcript
If you’re injured offshore, it still falls under the umbrella of a personal injury — but there are some important nuances. Offshore accidents are governed by maritime law, which is distinct from the laws that apply to accidents on land.
That’s why it’s critical to work with an attorney who understands maritime law and the differences between offshore and onshore injury claims. When you’re hurt offshore, you may be entitled to specific rights and protections under maritime statutes, and you need someone who can guide you through that process. These injuries are often severe and life-changing, making knowledgeable legal support even more important.
Here in the Greater New Orleans area and throughout Louisiana, we have a large oil and gas workforce — it’s why the region is known as the Energy Coast. At Bloom Legal Network, we frequently work with clients in the oil service industry who have been injured while working offshore.
If you’ve been involved in an accident and aren’t sure whether it qualifies as a maritime or offshore claim, give us a call. Our team understands how to differentiate between these cases and help you navigate this complex legal area. Get the support you need from an experienced offshore injury attorney who can fight for the compensation you deserve.
