The Details No One Tells You

What You're Up Against After an Offshore Injury

Offshore work is high-risk, and when something goes wrong the injuries are often catastrophic. The company starts controlling the story immediately. Here is what you are facing.

Which Law Applies

OCSLA, the Jones Act, or general maritime law may govern your case, and the answer changes what you can recover.

The Company's Doctor

They may fly you to their own physician, whose read on your injuries favors them.

Statements Before Advice

They take your statement and hand you forms to sign before you have talked to anyone on your side.

One wrong answer on which law applies can cost you everything. An offshore injury lawyer levels that from the start.

Why Phillip

Why Phillip Is the Offshore Injury Lawyer Rig Workers Call

You get an attorney who understands both the work and the wounds it causes.

  • Direct access

    You deal with Phillip himself, start to finish, not a rotating case team.

  • Medical depth

    Your crush injuries, burns, and falls from height get documented at their true severity, so the claim is not minimized.

  • Smaller caseload by design

    Because your offshore injury lawyer keeps his caseload small, your complex, high-value case gets the attention it demands.

Which law covers my offshore injury?

It depends on the type of structure and your role. OCSLA, the Jones Act, or general maritime law may apply. Phillip will determine which fits your situation and what it means for your claim.

The company sent me to their doctor, is that a problem?

It can be. That doctor works for them. Phillip can help you get an independent evaluation and make sure your injuries are documented honestly.

Should I sign the company's paperwork or give a statement?

Not before talking to Phillip. Early statements and forms can limit your recovery.

What does an offshore injury lawyer cost?

Nothing upfront. The consultation is free and the case runs on contingency, so there is no fee unless Phillip wins or settles.
