Drilling Rig Accidents

Baton Rouge Drilling Rig Accidents Lawyer

LA Offshore Accident Attorney

The Bohrer Law Firm, LLC extends our respect to those working in this dangerous field, our help to those injured, and our condolences to the families of those who have lost loved ones.

The history of drilling rig accidents is terrifying. Explosions, fires and electrocution are common drilling rig accidents. There is little room to run on a platform in the middle of the sea. Equipment can fail or fall on workers. Dangerous chemicals are present. Falls are common. Rigs have even sunk.

We have handled offshore accident cases on drilling rigs in Louisiana, Texas, and other coastal states. We have won large jury verdicts and out-of-court settlements for victims and their families. If you were injured in a drilling rig accident, do not assume that you are covered by workers' compensation. In fact, the Jones Act may apply. Contact us immediately to learn more about your rights and your legal options.

If you lost a loved one due to the negligence or recklessness of a company or individual, a wrongful death case may be in order. Please contact us for more information about this type of lawsuit.
