Diving Accidents

Marine Diving Accident Lawyers in Opelousas

Injured in a Diving Accident?

Every day,  professional divers risk their lives for companies by working in extremely volatile underwater environments that require technical precision from equipment and tools — as well as from the procedures that accompany job duties.

Unfortunately, in a community that has so many jobs invested in the oilfield industry, it’s easy to forget about the very real dangers of working on offshore platforms and under the water.

These dangers sometimes lead to marine diving accidents that leave injured parties in pain, disabled and potentially unable to work. If you’ve been injured while diving, you need legal guidance from a team with ample knowledge of maritime law and the experience to fight your case.

Our familiarity with the dive industry and the dangers associated with this particular job gives us the edge when protecting the rights of injured divers and their families.

Depth of Experience

Injuries or death as a result of decompression illness, arterial gas embolism, vestibular pulmonary and non-pulmonary barotrauma require lawyers who are not only familiar with the laws that rule maritime environment, but also who understand the medical ramifications for those who are killed or are injured severely enough to need lifelong medical assistance.

Demand Due Diligence

We understand that in particular, this is an industry that requires the utmost diligence when it comes to operational standards, equipment maintenance and attention to detail. When diving accidents occur they are usually catastrophic and both psychologically and physically damaging. We are here to ensure that you and your family have all the protection and compensation that is proportionate to the dangers you face in the diving environment, and that maximum recovery is pursued on your behalf.
