Louisiana Trial Lawyer Handling Oil Rig Helicopter Accident Cases
If you work on an offshore oil platform, you face dangerous conditions from the moment you step on board the transport helicopter. Every year, the Gulf Cost sees far too many aviation accidents involving helicopters carrying crew to offshore oil rigs. Any negligent act on the part of the pilot or landing crew can put an end to your career in the blink of an eye.
I am personal injury and maritime attorney Christopher L. Trahan of Lafayette, Louisiana. For nearly 15 years, I have been aggressively representing oil rig workers and their families seeking compensation for injuries and death resulting from accidents on transport helicopters, boats and offshore oil drilling platforms.
I have a successful record of winning large settlements against many of the largest and well-financed multi-national corporations and insurance companies in America. If you have been injured or a loved one has died while on transport to an oil rig, contact me now for a free consultation about your case.
Free Consultation ▪ No Recovery, No Fees ▪ I Work Directly With My Clients
If you have suffered an injury or lost a loved one in an oil rig helicopter accident, make sure you know your rights. Workers on offshore oil well platforms and oil refinery platforms typically aren't covered by worker's compensation. Depending upon your job classification and the location of the accident, your may need to file a claim under a specific government program, such as the:
- Jones Act
- Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
- Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA)
Maritime and admiralty law is complex, and when it involves an oil rig helicopter accident, there are often several factors that will affect the outcome of your claim.
I offer a free consultation so you can discuss your injury or wrongful death claim with a lawyer with no obligation. It's the only way to ensure that workers and their families have equal access to justice in our courts.
The Resources to Handle Complex Cases
I work with a network of independent doctors, investigators and experts such as oil drilling consultants to thoroughly prepare your case and present it to win in court. When insurance defense lawyers know that we're serious about winning, they come prepared for fair negotiations.
