Drilling and Workover Accidents

Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards, L.L.C., with offices in Lafayette, Louisiana, has been representing people injured in drilling and workover accidents for more than fifty years. Our attorneys have successfully represented hundreds of people injured on offshore drilling rigs and inland drilling rigs.

Drilling and Workover Accidents

Oil drilling and exploration is inherently dangerous. Manual labor, long shifts, and high speed equipment create a hazardous environment that leaves little room for error. Our firm has extensive experience working with people injured in drilling operations on jackup rigs, drilling platforms, semi-submersibles, and lay barges.

A majority of drilling and workover accidents are caused by worn or defective equipment, improper safety precautions, and negligence. Since our firm concentrates on personal injury cases involving maritime and drilling accidents, our lawyers have developed the skills and knowledge necessary to help our clients receive optimal compensation for their injuries.

Often drilling and workover accidents involve serious and catastrophic injuries that can end careers. Amputations, back and spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and wrongful death are not uncommon. We work closely with individuals and families to help demonstrate the cause of an accident, the severity of the injuries, and the long term financial effects the injury will have on our client and their family.

Our firm seeks out all sources of recovery in drilling and workover accidents. We have extensive experience handling cases that fall under the Jones Act and other federal legislation that protects the rights and interests of seamen and oil and gas industry workers who are injured in workplace accidents.
