Oil Field Helicopter Crashes

Experienced Attorneys for Helicopter Crash Victims

In-depth knowledge of maritime law and aviation, oil and gas industry operations is likely to be essential to recovering monetary compensation if an oil field helicopter crash has harmed you or cost you a family member's love, companionship and support.

Taking Helicopter Crash Cases to Trial

When negotiations break down, trust your family's future with a firm that will take a complicated and tragic helicopter crash case before a jury. In February 2008, Doyle Raizner obtained a jury verdict and subsequent multi-million dollar settlement for a Mississippi man who suffered spinal injuries and chemical burns after a rig helicopter crashed in the Gulf of Mexico.

Untangling the causes and repercussions associated with any helicopter crash or other aviation accident can be a complex challenge. It is critical to work with a proven lawyer and a firm with substantial resources and experience — such as ours, based in Houston, Texas. At Doyle Raizner, we have significant skill:

  • Negotiating and litigating on behalf of oil field workers and other maritime employees often covered by the Jones Act or other federal or state laws
  • Taking the relentless approach often necessary to hold major helicopter operators, air frame and component manufacturers, or other powerful entities responsible for negligence

Proven Ability to Establish Negligence and Liability

We have the knowledge and credentials to handle your valid serious injury or wrongful death claim after a helicopter crash. We can call on specialized accident investigators, aviation and oil industry experts, and others as necessary to build a strong case for you after the crash of a helicopter involving:

  • The transport of crew members to their vessel, offshore drilling rig or fixed platform for a crew change
  • Emergency on-demand fly-"air taxi duties"
  • A single identifiable cause or combination of factors ranging from weather radar failure to a transmission malfunction, pilot error or engine failure due to a defective part
