How Can I Get Medical Treatment After the DEEPWATER HORIZON accident?

Under the Jones Act, your employer is required to give you immediate medical treatment from a doctor that you choose. Transocean and other companies may not want to approve this treatment if it will prove your claim for an injury. Our office handles these types of claims on a daily basis and the biggest frustration we face involves companies refusing to allow injured employees to select their own choice of treating physician. The physician that treats you will become an expert in your case and to some extent he will determine the nature and extent of your injury. It is very important that you trust your physician and you know that he is looking out for you.

Our office regularly arranges for and pays for medical treatment for our clients so that we know we are receiving the best, most qualified expert opinion in regard to the nature and extent of their injury.
