Jack-Up Rig Accidents

Jack Up Rig Accident Law Firm at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C.

A jack-up rig is a type of mobile oil platform that uses supporting legs to balance the rig on the seafloor. These legs may be raised or lowered in order to maneuver the rig. Typically used in shallow waters, jack-up rigs continue to be built around the world for oil and natural gas drilling. Jack-up rig workers face a number of hazardous conditions when working on these platforms.

For nearly two decades, our attorneys have helped injured workers and their families with personal injury claims.
