OFFSHORE INJURIES DEMAND EXPERIENCED LAWYERS
Offshore injuries and maritime laws can be extremely complex, far more complicated than other personal injury cases or workers’ compensation claims. The impact of an offshore accident or maritime injury can be catastrophic.
Experience and knowledge of vessels, platforms, structures, the different types of offshore accidents that can occur and how these apply to federal and state laws are important for all Louisiana offshore injury lawyers to have a deep background in.
Too often when a maritime worker is injured while on the job, an employer and its insurance company attempt to pressure the injured employee, deny compensation or offer a low settlement.
You need the experienced representation of Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards LLC looking out for you.
WE SEND A STRONG MESSAGE FOR OUR CLIENTS
In many cases, an insurance company will offer a settlement before the victim is aware of the full extent of their injuries and are distressed about medical bills and other mounting costs.
We will send a strong message that you intend to be treated fairly, and you want to recover the maximum possible compensation for your injuries and suffering.
Trust the Louisiana offshore accident lawyers of Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards LLC to handle your case.

A large share of the federal oil production from the Gulf of Mexico comes ashore in Louisiana.
