Commercial Diving Accidents

Diving is a dangerous profession. Divers must rely on boat captains, dive supervisors, safety officers, and their tender to ensure a safe dive. Even the slightest mistake or lapse in concentration can cause serious injuries or death. Our commercial diving accidents attorneys have represented divers, tenders and family members dealing with the tragic consequences of diving injuries and fatalities.

There are many causes of commercial diving injuries including faulty equipment, differential pressure, incorrect air/gas mixture, and unsafe dive conditions above or below the water. Often commercial diving accidents are tragic, resulting in the death of the diver.

We have an extensive understanding of dive procedures and the OSHA safety guidelines that govern commercial diving. In addition, we have a comprehensive understanding of maritime and admiralty law and can help our clients determine whether a diving accident should be pursued as a negligence claim or as a Jones Act claim. Our lawyers have represented many people hurt either above or below the water during commercial dive operations. We know how to effectively investigate, document, and present evidence in commercial diving cases. We strive to ensure that people injured in commercial diving operations get optimal compensation for their injuries.
