Offshore Injuries

Offshore Accident Lawyers in Opelousas

Serving Workers Injured Offshore

Living in Louisiana means knowing someone who works offshore in the Gulf Coast area. The offshore accident lawyers at Morrow, Morrow, Ryan, Bassett & Haik (MMRB&H) handle numerous cases surrounding offshore work-related accidents, which is why maritime law has become a core focus of our firm.

Simplifying Complex Cases

Offshore accidents, and even injuries that occur on the docks or other shipping areas, can be very complicated as they involve federal laws requiring trial lawyers experienced with maritime law. Years of experience in maritime law gives our attorneys the necessary edge to best determine the exact statutes and laws that protect your rights to work in a safe environment — whether you’re located offshore or on land.

Your employer and business owner are responsible for ensuring you have trustworthy equipment and safe working conditions. If you’ve been injured offshore or within the oilfield, finding a lawyer near you who understands the legal waters of the oilfield is vital for building a solid case. Contact MMRB&H today, and we’ll help you get started. Located in Opelousas, our lawyers are well versed in the area of offshore law and can help you navigate the murky legal waters to get the compensation you deserve.
