Working on an oil rig is dangerous, and when accidents happen, the consequences can be life-altering. From fires and blowouts to falls and heavy machinery incidents, oil rig accidents demand serious legal representation. Waitz & Downer has a team of dedicated oil rig accident lawyers who know how to stand up to the biggest offshore companies. We help clients recover compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and the loss of future earnings. If you’ve lost a loved one in an oil rig accident, we can also pursue a wrongful death claim on your behalf.
