I was working offshore, pulling the offshore line up from the barge. The winch we needed was broken, so instead of using another machine, they had us use manpower. As always, the focus was on job progress over safety—and that’s how I got hurt.
After the injury, I started having problems with my company about getting the proper medical treatment I needed. I couldn’t even get an MRI approved, and they were threatening to send me back to work. That’s when I reached out to Zehl & Associates to see what I could do.
From the moment I spoke with them, they made me feel at home. They lined up all my medical treatment. I didn’t have to worry about appointments—they handled everything and kept me informed. Through those exams, I finally got the truth about my injuries and the treatment I needed.
Everybody I met at Zehl & Associates treated me with respect. They always had a smile, and I never had to question whether they were looking out for me. They treated me the same way I look out for my own family—and now, I consider them part of mine.
Because of them, my family and I have enough to sit back, relax, and figure out our future. Most importantly, I don’t have to worry about my wife or my son anymore. Offshore work is dangerous, and when something happens, the company is not your friend. If you’re ever in that situation—afraid and not knowing which way to turn—the best people to call are Zehl & Associates.
