The economic growth of large countries like China, India, and Thailand are pushing demand for coal and oil—the Asia-Pacific region's primary energy sources—which, in turn, is leading exploration companies to invest in offshore drilling in this region. To fill many of the needed jobs, exploration companies have turned to American rig workers.
With offshore drilling ramping up in the Pacific Rim, there has been an increased need from exploration companies for American workers, from large-scale companies such as Transocean (which operated the Deepwater Horizon rig), Nabors, Pride, and Ensco, to smaller operations.
If you are a U.S. maritime seaman or rig worker—or an international maritime worker for a U.S. company—and you have been injured in an offshore accident, it is very important to understand your legal rights. It can be intimidating and confusing to try to pursue an injury claim while abroad. The law firm of Doyle Raizner LLP, is highly experienced at handling international personal injury cases and can walk you step-by-step through the legal process.
