Recover Compensation for your Injuries or Loss
Working on an oil refinery, barge, supply boat or ship can be dangerous work. However, it is the employer's responsibility to provide a safe environment for workers. When representing clients in maritime injury claims, we focus on negligence of the employer or other party which may have contributed to the serious accident. Such negligence may involve:
- Inadequate safety equipment
- Poor or unsafe work conditions
- Inadequate training
- Defective equipment
