I was working on an offshore rig at 7:30 in the morning. I went to move a diesel hose and it lifted up about 80 feet in the air. When it broke, the hose came down and struck me on top of the head, knocking me out. I woke up in a chopper with tremendous pain, headaches, and injuries to my neck, lower back, and shoulder.
It really affected my life. I loved my job and what I did. I provided for my two little girls, but after getting hurt, I didn’t know what my future would be. Everything changed. With medical expenses piling up, I had to find someone to look out for my future.
I searched for lawyers and found Zehl & Associates. Within two hours, Ryan came to my house. He sat down, explained everything that had happened, and assured me he would get me to the best doctors and make sure my family was taken care of. He kept his word.
Other injured workers offshore said they rarely heard anything from their lawyers and were stressed out, but with Zehl & Associates I never had to worry. I could always pick up the phone, call, and get answers.
I knew what was going on every week with my case. Ryan and his team did an outstanding job. It took about a year and a half to settle my case against two companies. With the settlement, we were able to set up trust funds for my daughters so my family never has to worry again. I would recommend Zehl & Associates to anyone hurt offshore. They’ve got your back and they do what they say.
Because of them, my family and I are set for the future. They’ve become good friends, and I’ll always recommend them to anyone who needs the best trial lawyers.
