Boat and Vessel Accidents

Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards, L.L.C., with offices in Lafayette, Louisiana, has vast experience represented people who have been injured in boating and vessel accidents. Our firm has represented blue water seamen and brown water seamen who have suffered injuries aboard crew boats, supply vessels, lay barges, pipeline barges, dredges, jackup rigs, and tug boats.

Boat and Vessel Accidents

Boating and vessel accidents are often severe and can quickly end careers. Neck injuries, back injuries, amputation, and brain injuries are not uncommon in the maritime industry. Our firm has been handling maritime personal injury cases for more than fifty years. We understand that there are a number of remedies available to maritime workers that are not available to other workers.

The Jones act, Longshoreman and Harbor Worker’s Compensation Act, Death on the High Seas Act, and the Public Vessels Act all define the protections available to people injured in offshore accidents. Regardless of whether an injury was caused by a mechanical defect, fire, or the careless actions of crewmates, our attorneys have the skill, experience, and resources to effectively and confidentially manage their case.

Our firm is widely respected for our ability to maximize compensation for people involved in boat and vessel accidents. While we have experience handling a vast array of boating accidents, our attorneys have built their reputation handling maritime accident cases related to the oil and gas industries.
