Offshore Oil Rig Explosion Lawyer | Transocean Accident

The Transocean semi-submersible offshore rig "Deepwater Horizon" experienced an explosion last night.  Eleven of the oil rig workers are not accounted for at this time.  Numerous other workers sustained very serious injuries.

Amazingly, this is not the first time a Transocean offshore rig has blown up.  The Maritime Injury Lawyers at our Houston, Texas law firm previously represented a young offshore worker who was injured when a Transocean rig blew up near Galveston, Texas.  For more information, read the following blog post on our Maritime Accident website:  Transocean Rig Explodes - Again.

It appears as if Transocean has communicated a "Hotline" number for the injured oil rig workers or their family members to call.  While it is certainly fine to call this number and hear what the company has to say, workers and their families will be much better served by calling a Board Certified Offshore Injury Maritime Lawyer.  An Offshore Accident Attorney will not be biased in favor of the company and will be able to advise injured offshore workers and their families on the appropriate steps to take following a serious offshore injury.  For tips on finding the best lawyer for an offshore accident or Jones Act case, please read:  Hiring the Best Attorney for your Jones Act or Maritime Injury Case.
