There has been a dramatic increase in drilling and exploration off the coast of Brazil. Oil and gas companies, including those based in the United States, have shifted their focus from the Gulf of Mexico to waters near Brazil. Many of these companies are working with Brazil-based Petrobas.
These U.S. companies are paying very well for employees to work off of the Brazilian coast, but this also comes with the price of added danger and high risk of injury in remote locations.
If you are a U.S. seamen or rig worker who has been injured while working offshore in Brazil — or if you are an international worker who has been injured while working for a U.S. company in Brazil — it is important to understand your legal rights and options. 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.
