Houston, Texas, Ship Cargo Line and Boat Winch Accident Attorney
Tool injuries among commercial oil crews, seamen, fishermen and boat crews are common and often serious. Vibration from heavy power tools often cause hand, arm and back injuries that are more common at sea than on land. When using a piece of heavy equipment on an oil rig, often under adverse wave and weather conditions, injuries can be more serious and life-threatening. Using any kind of power equipment onboard a vessel at sea is dangerous. A rolling, heaving deck offers no base of support and sudden jolts can turn a power tool into a dangerous weapon.
