San Antonio Offshore Injury Lawyers

Advocating for Injured Workers After Serious Offshore Accidents

Offshore work is physically demanding, often dangerous, and absolutely vital to the energy industry. Whether you’re on a drilling rig, production platform, or supply vessel, you know the job isn’t easy—and when safety fails, the consequences can be catastrophic.

At The Warrior Law Firm, we represent injured offshore workers and families who’ve lost loved ones in preventable incidents at sea. Our San Antonio offshore injury lawyers understand the risks workers face every day, and we know how quickly a single failure can result in life-changing injuries or death.

These cases are often complex, but we make the process straightforward for our clients. We’ll deal with the legal and financial side of things so you can focus on recovery, getting the care you need, and protecting your family’s future.

Call (210) 598-5006 or contact us online for a free consultation. You don’t owe any attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Where & How Offshore Injuries Happen

Offshore accidents can happen in a number of environments—oil rigs, gas platforms, jack-up rigs, floating production systems, drill ships, tugboats… the list goes on. But one thing these job sites have in common is that they are remote. Conditions are often extreme. And help is rarely close by when something goes wrong.

At The Warrior Law Firm, we handle offshore injury cases involving:

• Blowouts and well control failures
• Platform explosions and fires
• Crane and equipment malfunctions
• Falls from height or overboard incidents
• Vessel collisions and capsizing
• Slippery decks and trip hazards
• Lack of proper safety training or supervision
• Failure to maintain equipment or follow safety protocols

These incidents often occur because of negligence, either on the part of an employer, a third-party contractor, or the company that owns or operates the rig or vessel. We work to uncover what went wrong, who is responsible, and what can be done to make it right.

The Impact of Serious Offshore Injuries

Offshore injuries are often severe because of the nature of the job. Workers may be crushed, burned, thrown from high structures, or exposed to toxic chemicals and fumes. Rescue efforts can be delayed, and medical care isn’t always immediately available.

This can lead to catastrophic injuries like: 

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord damage or paralysis
• Severe burns and scarring
• Amputations and crush injuries
• Internal injuries and bleeding
• Back and neck trauma
• PTSD and psychological trauma
• Injuries from long-term exposure to dangerous substances

We also represent families in wrongful death cases when an offshore accident proves fatal. These are some of the hardest cases we handle, and we approach them with the compassion, urgency, and determination they deserve.

What Laws Protect Injured Offshore Workers?

Offshore injury cases don’t follow the same rules as typical workplace accidents. Instead, they fall under maritime law. Depending on your role and where you were injured, you may be protected by various laws.

Some of these include: 

• The Jones Act – Allows qualifying seamen to file lawsuits against their employers for negligence and unsafe conditions aboard vessels or rigs
• The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) – Provides benefits to maritime workers who don’t qualify under the Jones Act but were injured on or near the water
• General Maritime Law – Offers remedies such as “maintenance and cure” (wages and medical care) and allows claims for unseaworthiness when a vessel or rig is unsafe

Our San Antonio offshore accident attorneys can help you determine which laws apply to your case and how best to move forward.

What Can You Recover After an Offshore Injury? 

When you’ve been injured offshore, you may be entitled to compensation for both the immediate and long-term consequences of your injury. We work closely with medical and financial experts to ensure your case accounts for everything you’ve lost, as well as everything you may still need.

That can include:

• Medical bills and rehabilitation
• Future medical expenses and long-term care
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Mental and emotional distress
• Disability or disfigurement
• Funeral and burial costs in fatal cases
• Loss of support or companionship for family members

We take the time to understand how your injury has impacted your life, and we fight for a result that reflects the full scope of that impact.
