We were working in the Gulf of Mexico on the BOP stack. There was trapped pressure of about 3,000 PSI. As I began to loosen the fitting, the pressure blew it off, and it sliced through my hand.
Even when I was cleared to return to work, I always had this fear of being laid off. In the end, that fear came true. They pulled the rug out from under me—laid me off, cut my severance in half, and told me they wouldn’t cover any more medical bills. My worst fear became reality. I had piles of medical bills, a family to support, a mortgage, cars, utilities—everything—and I was the sole provider. What was I supposed to do?
That’s when Zehl & Associates stepped in.
The reason I chose Zehl & Associates is because they treated me as an individual, not just a number. Eric and his team walked me step by step through everything. They let me ask a hundred questions and never once complained. Anytime I was stressed, I could call them, and they made me feel comfortable. They took a lot of the weight off my shoulders.
They arranged everything: hand specialists, doctors, nerve specialists. They were more concerned about my well-being and fair treatment than about money. Offshore cases can be complicated, long, and expensive, but Zehl & Associates stood by me the entire time. They fought for me and did an outstanding job.
For anyone in a similar situation—when your company turns its back on you after an accident—I would 100% recommend Zehl & Associates.
