Consider the following case: A worker on an offshore oil rig is injured in an accident on board the transportation vessel taking them to the rig. Can they file a claim that uses maritime law? That is something that an experienced Galveston offshore attorney can help them to answer.
Maritime law does apply to those who provide services associated with the operation of offshore vessels, and as such, the workers on board any of them do tend to qualify for compensation after an accident. Naturally, like so many other kinds of law, these are open to interpretation and do have specific limitations. This is why it is so important to consult with a qualified Galveston offshore attorney immediately following an incident.
Keep in mind that the words “accident, injury, or incident” are not the only things that a court can consider. The first thing that has to apply is the word “negligence”. Was the injury, incident, or accident caused by negligence? That is something your Galveston offshore attorney will help you to establish and then to prove.
