Jones Act Lawyers Observe that BP's Latest Disaster Now the Worst Oil Spill in US History

    TEXAS CITY, TX, June 04, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With the industrial explosion of one of the world's most technologically advanced oil rigs last month resulting in spillage of over 20 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, BP now holds the record of the worst oil spill in US history. In addition to the environmental damage, this horrific industrial explosion killed eleven offshore workers and left seventeen critically injured.

Workers who have been injured in an accident on board an oil rig may be eligible for benefits under the federal Jones Act. Such cases require a maritime attorney who specializes in maritime law in addition to the ability to prove a personal injury negligence claim in court. Many personal injury firms state they handle Jones Act cases, but only an experienced offshore injury lawyer can successfully navigate a Jones Act case for full and just recovery. It is imperative that an injured offshore worker seeks the counsel of an experienced maritime or Jones Act attorney immediately after being injured.

The Burwell Nebout Law Firm represents injured offshore workers in Jones Act cases around the Gulf Coast region. They have earned the trust of their clients by representing the person, not the insurance company.
