We Protect Offshore Accident Victims

The compensation available after an offshore accident depends on the circumstances surrounding the situation. To determine what law governs your claim, our offshore accident lawyers ask these questions:

Were you working offshore?
Were you an employee of the company?
Were you on a moveable vessel?
Was your employer negligent?

Depending on your answers to these questions, several maritime laws may apply to your claim.

Maritime Law

General maritime law provides injured workers with payment called “maintenance and cure.” This consists of payment for medical expenses and a limited daily stipend.

The Jones Act

If you were working on a moveable vessel offshore, you may be eligible to file a Jones Act claim. The Jones Act allows you to sue your employer for negligence. Even if you are not sure whether your employer was negligent, contact our offshore injury attorneys to share the details of your experience.

Limited negligent actions by your employer are enough for the Jones Act to apply. If this law applies, your payout could be significant because the Jones Act allows you to sue for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act

If you were working on a dock, pier, or adjacent area, the Jones Act probably will not apply. However, another law, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), gives you an avenue for compensation. The LHWCA pays your medical bills, disability benefits, and job retraining if you cannot return to your old job.

I can't thank Scott and his team enough for what they did for me and my case!

I would like to start by saying thank you to Scott Armstrong and his team for personally taking on my case. Scott Armstrong represented me in my case and fought tooth and nail for me. This is by far the best law firm. My case was turned down by many attorneys at first as I was told my case was extremely difficult to take and was rejected by all other law firms. Scott and his team were the only firm to actually take my case and begin working on it leading to a great outcome. I highly recommend this law firm. They kept me updated at all times and, always answered any questions I had.

Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP is the right firm for the job.

Josh Lee was always upfront and honest with everything about my case. He listened to me and understood all the difficulty I had went through with the pain from my fall. Every step of the way I knew I could depend on Josh Lee and his staff to go the extra step to make sure I was taken care of and I am so thankful for that. Words and surveys can't express my appreciation and respect I have for this team. If you are needing an attorney that listens to you and takes action in every way to make sure you are taken care of.
