Louisiana Offshore Injury Claims Lawyer

Many residents work offshore in New Orleans. Maritime attorney Tim Fields is the resource in employment and injury compensation for these workers.

Unlike other workplace accidents, offshore injuries are not covered by workers’ compensation. This means that the employee is not necessarily provided compensation for injuries suffered on the job, and any benefits provided may not be enough. The worker may sue the employer to recover those benefits. This is a detailed and unique process, requiring the skill and experience of a firm that is familiar with this area of law and routinely represents offshore workers.

Louisiana Offshore Injury Lawyer — Representation For Injured Oil Workers And Seamen

The attorneys of The Law Offices of Tim L. Fields, LLC, provide skilled representation to offshore workers and ship workers throughout the Louisiana and Gulf Coast area. Our offshore injury lawyer has handled many such cases, and our firm understands the circumstances of these accidents and how to recover compensation to cover your injury and your time lost from work.

These injuries can be severe, including:

  • Back injuries or lower back strains from heavy lifting
  • Pulling or pushing heavy loads, causing strains
  • Working with huge rope, causing muscular injuries
  • Head trauma or traumatic brain injury
  • Amputation or severe damage to a limb
  • Falls from heights
  • Heavy objects dropping on the worker

These types of injuries can be debilitating, severely limiting or eliminating the worker’s ability to return to the job or work in other fields. They often also require costly surgeries, medical treatment, physical therapy and other follow-up procedures. As the medical bills pile up, and the worker is unable to work, the financial situation can become dire. Our attorneys are prepared to intervene and advocate on your behalf to recover maximum damages for the pain you have suffered on the job.
