Well, we were heading offshore and getting on the Billy basket. The crane operator came up with the load, but the basket got caught in the back of the hammer of the crew boat. It threw me out of the basket. I went up in the air and came down pretty hard. I suffered head, neck, and back injuries.
After it was all over, I felt like the company just threw me away—they didn’t care. That’s when I knew I needed a lawyer, so I hired Zehl & Associates.
The whole crew—Ryan, Tommy, Sarah, Eric, Matt, Kevin—were like one big family. Anytime I had a question about the case, I would call the office, and either Sarah would help me directly or refer me to Ryan or Eric. They always answered my questions about the case, the medical situation, or doctor’s appointments right on the spot.
I would recommend Zehl & Associates to any friend or anyone I know who gets hurt offshore. They work with you every step of the way. Whatever you need, they’re right on point. Anytime you call them, even late at night or by text, they respond. This is a great firm, and they know everything about maritime law and the Jones Act. I truly feel they are the best in the business.
