Production Platform
Your production platform injury calls for a hard-hitting attorney
Maritime law is complicated. It's highly advisable for injured offshore workers to obtain a knowledgeable lawyer who has devoted years to serving injury victims and understanding the complexities of the law. If you, a loved one or someone you know was injured on a production platform, get in touch with an attorney who focuses on maritime and offshore cases. Turn to the Law Office of William Gee III.
A production platform, which is permanently attached to the sea floor, is not considered a vessel. Workers injured on production platforms generally will not be protected by the Jones Act. Attorney Gee's experience includes representing clients whose claims arise under state tort law as applied to offshore platforms under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, and under state law on platforms in state waters.
How to pursue a production platform injury claim
In most cases, production platform workers cannot sue their employers, but can pursue a workers' compensation claim through the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act.
If a third-party (someone other than your employer) was negligent or contributed to the accident, you may be entitled to pursue damages in addition to workers' compensation benefits.
