Commercial fishing plays an important role in Texas’s Gulf Coast economy. From Galveston Bay to offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, commercial fishing vessels are a constant presence in Texas’s coastal waters, and many local residents spend their days catching fish and processing their vessels’ catches on the water.
There are lots of hazards involved in working offshore. No matter what you do for work, if you spend your days on the open waters of the ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, there is always a chance that you will get injured on the job.
Broken bones are painful injuries. They are also expensive injuries that can leave injured workers struggling to pay their bills while they rest and recover. Fortunately, offshore workers are entitled to financial compensation for their broken bones in many cases. If you suffered a broken bone while working offshore, you can hire a Texas offshore accident lawyer to help you seek financial compensation at no out-of-pocket cost.
