We May Need to Prove a Negligent Workplace to Get Compensation
The Jones Act imposes unique rules that may affect who gets compensation for offshore injuries. We may need to prove that you suffered injuries because of negligence that put you in harm’s way.
We may prove this case by:
- Getting witness testimony about the dangerous nature of the rig or vessel where you suffered injuries
- Obtaining previous reports related to workplace danger
- Hiring experts to testify about the negligence of your employer (or another liable party)
Let our attorneys worry about these details. Rest and recovery should be your priority, so leave the legal issues to us.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
