Advocating for Workers Hurt on Platforms & Rigs Beyond the Shoreline

Working offshore means working somewhere that ordinary safety nets often don’t reach: far from onshore emergency response, surrounded by heavy equipment, and subject to a legal framework most people never encounter until they need it. Bianca Calderón de Lachica Law Firm represents workers who were injured on offshore platforms, drilling rigs, and other facilities, helping them understand exactly which laws apply to their situation and what compensation they’re entitled to.

Offshore injury claims are governed by federal law rather than the typical workers’ compensation system, and the details of your job and worksite location can determine which statute covers you. Bianca Calderón de Lachica can sort through those distinctions early so that your claim starts on solid footing.

If you’ve been injured while working offshore, call (346) 788-1221 to reach our Sugar Land offshore injury lawyer for a free consultation.

Coverage Under the Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act

Many offshore workers are covered under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), a federal law that provides compensation and medical benefits to employees who were injured while working on navigable waters or in adjoining maritime work areas. Through the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, this coverage extends to many workers on offshore oil and gas platform that are involved in the exploration and development of natural resources, even though they aren’t traditional dockworkers or shipbuilders.

Offshore injury cases we can handle include:

Platform and rig equipment failures
Falls from elevated platforms or walkways
Crane and rigging accidents
Slip and falls on wet or unstable surfaces
Exposure to hazardous chemicals or gases
Helicopter and crew transport accidents

Pursuing Every Available Source of Compensation

LHWCA benefits can cover medical treatment and a portion of lost wages, and they don’t require proof that anyone was at fault, but they don’t account for everything that an injured worker and their family may need. That’s often where a separate claim comes in. If a company other than your direct employer, such as an equipment manufacturer, vessel owner, or another contractor on the platform, contributed to your injury through negligence, you may be able to pursue a third-party claim in addition to your LHWCA benefits. Unlike LHWCA benefits, a third-party claim can include compensation for pain and suffering as well as the full extent of your lost earning capacity.

Offshore facilities are complex environments, often staffed by employees of several different companies working side by side on the same platform. When we take on an offshore injury case, we look closely at maintenance and inspection records, training documentation, and the roles of every company present on the platform at the time of the accident. Determining exactly who controlled the equipment or condition that caused your injury is often the difference between a claim that undervalues your losses and one that reflects them fully.

Because offshore cases can move between different legal systems, including federal maritime law in some circumstances, having an attorney who understands these distinctions from the outset can make a meaningful difference in how your claim is valued and resolved.
