 One
of the most dangerous occupations one can have is
maritime work. Maritime work is categorized by work
which is performed offshore, or in a marine environment,
whether it is on an offshore drilling rig or on a ship.
The laws that govern maritime accidents are unique
because they can vary depending on the geographic
location of the accident. Tim D. Wilson Investigations
has been blessed with the opportunity to work in
conjunction with top maritime law attorneys from across
the United States in order to assist many injured
victims in receiving the justice and compensation that
they deserve.
While accidents that occur on land are usually
considered workers compensation cases, the Jones Act
entitles people who are injured at sea, both on
interstate and international commerce pathways,
compensation from the actual boat owners, captain, and
fellow employees when found to be negligent. Our Jones
Act investigations have assisted in many large verdicts
for injured workers. In order to prove liability in
maritime accidents, evidence is critical and a statement
from fellow crew members is essential in proving
maritime accident negligence. Obtaining statements and
collecting evidence must also be prompt as crew members
change ships and locations quite often, causing them to
be difficult to find if too much time passes. Tim D.
Wilson Investigations can assist you in determining
negligence and getting the statements that you need in a
timely fashion.
We have assisted many victims of offshore drilling rig
accidents. Some of the most common accidents, that occur
while working on an offshore drilling rig, are falls
from defective stairs, injuries caused by falling pipe,
helicopter crashes during employee transportation, and
even dangerous explosions. Some of the injuries suffered
include brain injury, amputations, major burns, and even
death.
Other maritime accidents may occur on cruise ships, oil
tankers, freighters, dredges, barges, inland ferry
boats, tugboats, and container ships. Many people
experience injuries while working in these various
marine locations due to the constant dangers that
surround them. Often, safety is compromised by the
company in order to increase profits. In other cases,
fellow crew members, who are not supervised to standard,
cause others to be hurt from negligence on their part.
If you or a loved one has been injured while working at
sea or on an offshore drilling rig, please contact our
office so that we may promptly assist you with your case
so that you may receive the compensation you deserve.
