Offshore Law and Liability

Offshore Law and Liability — Louisiana Maritime Lawyer

Offshore and maritime injuries are controlled by special laws that are in many respects different than the laws that apply to land-based accidents.

After spending several years defending offshore drilling corporations, industrial vessel operators and their insurers in injury claims and lawsuits filed against them, Price McNamara now puts that past experience to work to successfully represent accident victims injured while working on offshore drilling rigs and on commercial vessels in the Gulf of Mexico as well as inland waters.

Working in an offshore or maritime setting, whether it is on a jack-up drilling rig, an offshore platform or from a vessel is inherently dangerous. The work is performed among heavy, dangerous moving equipment, from heights, and is often complicated by wave action.

Depending upon the location, job description and circumstances of a particular offshore or maritime accident, one or more of a number of special laws may apply. These may include:

The Jones Act
The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
The Death on the High Seas Act
The General Maritime Law

Offshore and maritime accident laws are complicated and different than Louisiana law. The proper representation of an accident victim injured in an offshore or maritime setting requires an attorney experienced with and familiar with the special laws that apply.
