Offshore workers can have their livelihoods taken from them by fire or chemical burns at any time, whether it's a high-profile event like the explosion on the Deep Water Horizon drilling vessel or smaller electrical fires in an engineering room. You deserve justice!

Drilling rigs have some of the strictest safety standards for fire prevention of any workplace. Despite the standards in place, some operators are negligent in maintaining fire suppression or prevention systems. Operator negligence may lead to a drilling accident injury. Longshoremen and harbor workers may suffer chemical burns if hazardous cargo is improperly labeled or mishandled by improperly trained co-workers.

Even if the cause of the chemical, electrical, or petroleum fire burn injury was partly the fault of the injury victim, general maritime tort law allows for recovery of a settlement in proportion with the negligence of the other party (or multiple parties in some cases).
