Injured in an oil rig accident off the shore of Texas?
The Gulf of Mexico plays host to a number of oil rigs as part of the vast offshore drilling industry, which is an industry that is extremely dangerous for its employees. At Brasher Law Firm, PLLC, we have seen numerous cases involving injuries sustained while working on an oil rig, and understand the gravity of the circumstances you face. If you’ve been injured as an employee of an offshore drilling vessel, your pain and suffering may have been supplemented by medical costs and a loss of wages. Our team of Beaumont personal injury attorneys is dedicated to fighting for the compensation that you deserve so that you are not burdened by financial instability.
Common dangers of working on an oil rig include:
Explosions
Falls from heights
Falling objects and equipment
Malfunctioning equipment
Chemical exposure
Slips and falls on deck
Workplace Safety Rules
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) governs the offshore drilling industry, specifically pertaining to the safety of operations, in order to mitigate the occurrence of incidents that can lead to harm to both the environment and oil rig employees. They have implemented a Workplace Safety Rule, officially titled the Safety and Environmental Management Systems Rule (SEMS), which decrees certain procedural regulations for oil rig owners and operators to adhere to.
Operational regulation requirements under the SEMS include:
General provisions for the planning, implementation, and supervision of operations
The provision of data concerning safety information, including diagrams detailing processes and mechanical apparatuses
An examination of hazards at facility-level
Job-safety assessment
Evaluation and written protocol of operational procedures
A system of administration for carrying out any changes to facility or operations
Employee guidelines for standard and safe workplace behavior
The periodical review and consistent upkeep of mechanical systems
Training procedures for technical, operational, and equipment safety
Plans for emergency response
Stop work authority in the event of impending risk or danger
Clear definition of tasks and duties, including the establishment of authority
The implementation of regular audits
Measures for the investigation and follow up of accidents
The purpose of these requirements is to ensure that employers are creating a safe work environment that is regulated, supervised, and consistently maintained by all staff, crew, and management. If these regulations were neglected or violated in any way, leading to an accident that causes you injury, you have the right to seek compensation for any damages.
Seek the Compensation You Deserve
If you’ve been injured in an offshore drilling accident, you should be compensated for any medical bills or financial losses you have suffered under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). This act declares that injured employees are entitled to benefits for disability, costs of medical treatment, transportation expenses, and rehabilitation.

After I was hurt on the job, my company tried to keep me from filing worker’s compensation. Instead, they offered to pay me cash. They told me not to file a worker’s compensation claim – that they would take care of me. When I went a got an MRI on my own, they fired me. Clint Brasher took my case all the way to trial. My employer offered a $25,000.00 right before trial to settle the case. Clint said no and convinced a jury to award me $852,000.00 plus interest. I recommend anyone with a legal problem to call The Brasher Law Firm.
Jimmy Couch Jr.Beaumont, Texas
After being told by multiple lawyers that I really had no case or that my chances of being awarded any settlement was very slim, I was referred to the Brasher Law firm. Nishi worked on my case and with very little effort on my part, she put together my case with an opening statement and presentation that put my opponent on their heels. She set a goal from the start and didn’t relent until her goal was met and I got what was owed me. Thank you Nishi for knocking it out of the park!
