Maritime Law

Working aboard vessels and oil rigs presents numerous dangers due to challenging and hazardous environments. Offshore workers face risks such as rough seas, extreme weather conditions, and heavy machinery. Common dangers include slips and falls, equipment malfunctions, crane operation mishaps, vessel collisions, fires, and explosions. These risks can lead to severe injuries, including fractures, burns, head injuries, and even fatalities. The remote nature of maritime and offshore work can complicate emergency responses and medical treatment, further endangering workers’ health and safety.
