If you are injured in a oil rig accident, you may find yourself dealing with extensive medical bills and a loss of income while you recover, not to mention the physical and mental pain and anguish. In cases where a worker is killed as a result of a rig accident, his or her family may find themselves struggling to settle their loved one’s estate and cover their own expenses in the midst of grief.

The Jones Act

If you have been injured offshore, learn about Jones Act claims and offshore litigation. If your injury occurred onshore, it is important to understand your rights against your employer and other parties. There are times in Texas, for example, when recovery against an employer may be limited if the employer maintains worker’s compensation insurance. That may not, however, bar claims against other parties that may have contributed to or caused your injury. Contact Johnson Garcia LLP now to get a free case evaluation: 832-400-6130.
