Personal Injury Attorneys in Texas Offshore Oil and Gas Rig Accidents
Sunken Rigs | Explosions | Capsized Rigs | Drownings | Exposure Injuries
An offshore oil rig can sink or capsize for a number of reasons. It has happened far too often, and usually results in serious injury or even death to workers on the rig. More often than not, it’s a consequence of negligence, carelessness or simple greed. In the drive to maximize output and profits, too many offshore oil and gas rig operators push the limits and take unacceptable risks. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured, or even died, when an oil rig sank or capsized, we can help protect your rights.
At Bailey & Galyen, we offer extensive experience to people along Texas and the Gulf Coast who have been hurt in an accident on an offshore oil or gas rig, including workers injured when a rig sank or capsized. We take an aggressive approach, thoroughly investigating the facts and circumstances of the accident. If necessary, we will travel to the scene of your accident, so that we have a full understanding of what happened. Because we recognize the complexity of oil and gas industry accidents, we work closely with a range of expert witnesses, including engineers, geologists, medical professionals and financial planners, so that we can put together the best case for your full financial recovery.
