Workers on the high seas or offshore oil rigs are placed in harm's way on a regular basis. Every precaution must be taken by all aboard the vessel to prevent serious accidents or injuries from occurring. When accidents occur, we represent the accident victim or their family with a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent parties.
Contact our New Orleans law firm to schedule a complimentary consultation with a lawyer about your injury case. If your injury prevents you from traveling to our office, we can make accommodations to meet elsewhere.
Maritime Laws: Help for Injured Offshore Workers
When someone is injured at sea — who is responsible? Was someone aboard negligent? Did a defect contribute to the unseaworthiness of the vessel?
Maritime laws provide much more protection to seamen and other offshore workers than do state workers' compensation laws. While state workers' compensation laws prohibit suits by employees against employers for injuries suffered, maritime laws allow injured workers to file lawsuit claims against their employer to ensure full financial recovery. This is especially important in cases arising from offshore or high sea accidents, because these cases frequently involve very serious injuries or fatalities.

Finckbeiner, Jr. handles maritime accident cases that involve the most serious injuries, such as serious burns, neck, back or spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputation and other severe injuries. Additionally, the firm represents family members who have lost a loved one in a fatal accident.
