Worker’s Compensation For Oil Rig Employees Under The Federal Outer Continental Shelf Act

We represent oil rig workers who are injured on the job while working on an oil rig or in navigable waters. The Outer Continental Shelf Act is a Federal law which provides for those working in oil and gas and liquefied natural gas in the Outer Continental Shelf to be fully compensated for their injuries sustained while working during blow-outs, loss of oil control, spillage, fire, and any other injuries or dangers that occur. Included in the act are injuries caused by unsafe equipment, outdated technology or a dangerous work atmosphere.  Our law firm obtains compensation for  injured employees through the Office of Workers Compensation program under the Outer Continental Shelf Act.

We obtain compensation for oil rig workers who are injured in navigable waters of the United States. We can obtain disability payments for an injured worker. We will also obtain a recovery for pain and suffering, past loss of earnings, future loss of earnings and all medical expenses. In a death case, we will obtain funeral expenses and will provide the surviving family members with regular payments of half of the diseased worker’s weekly wage.

You must file a written claim within one year of the date of the accident.
