Helicopters are an integral method of transportation in the maritime industry. Helicopters are used to deliver supplies and crews to barges, drilling rigs, offshore platforms, oil production facilities, and other vessels in the Gulf of Mexico and other waters. They are often used in search and rescue missions and for medical evacuations. However, helicopter accidents can cause serious injuries and death:

A helicopter can develop trouble for a variety of reasons including equipment failure, pilot error, rough weather. All of these factors can contribute to a hard landing, ditching in the water, or a crash landing. Any helicopter accident can result in serious and often catastrophic injuries, and death.

When a helicopter accident causes a wrongful death due to pilot error or rough water, family members need to understand what happened and make a claim for wrongful death. Our law firm can help.

If you have suffered injury in a helicopter accident, or if a family member has died in a fatal maritime helicopter accident, tell us about it. We will make sure you understand the laws and your rights. You do not have to deal with this alone.
