Understanding Offshore Wind Farm Injuries

Injuries in offshore wind farms can be severe. Workers often face:

Falls from heights or overboard
Equipment malfunctions or heavy machinery accidents
Slips and trips on wet or unstable surfaces
Vessel accidents during transport to and from the site

The effects of these injuries go beyond physical pain. Many workers face long medical treatments, lost income, and emotional stress as they try to rebuild their lives.

Some injuries happen on the turbine platform, others occur on boats ferrying workers to and from the wind farm. No matter where the accident happens, workers have rights under maritime law to seek compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and long-term care.

Who May Be Responsible?

Accidents in offshore wind farms often involve multiple parties. Determining liability can include:

Wind farm operators who manage the site and worker safety
Contractors or subcontractors responsible for construction or maintenance
Equipment manufacturers if faulty turbines or machinery contribute to the injury
Vessel owners for unsafe transport conditions or poorly maintained boats

Sometimes more than one party is at fault, and identifying every responsible entity is crucial to securing full compensation.

Real-Life Risks for Maritime Workers

Offshore wind farm jobs aren’t just physically demanding, they can be unpredictable. Turbine technicians work hundreds of feet above water in challenging conditions, and vessel operators must navigate rough seas while transporting workers and equipment. Even engineers or inspectors visiting a site can be at risk from slippery decks, heavy machinery, or electrical hazards.

Injuries can be life-changing, and in many cases, workers are unable to return to their previous jobs. That’s why having experienced legal representation is so important: to ensure your rights are protected and compensation is pursued for both current and future needs.

Legal Options for Injured Workers

If you’ve been hurt on an offshore wind farm, there are legal avenues to pursue:

The Jones Act – Protects seamen injured while working on vessels, allowing them to seek damages for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
Unseaworthiness claims – Holds vessel owners accountable if a ship was unsafe or improperly maintained.
General maritime law claims – Allows action against employers, contractors, or equipment manufacturers whose negligence caused the accident.

Our team investigates each case thoroughly, reviewing accident reports, inspecting equipment, and consulting experts when needed. The goal is to make sure every responsible party is held accountable and victims receive the compensation they deserve.

“Someone was always available. It was usually Carolyn herself, and she would pick up on one ring. There was a time when I think I called her around nine o’clock. I had a question pop into my head, so I knew she was off the clock doing family stuff, but she still hopped on the phone and took care of the stuff that she knew I was concerned about.”

Carolyn and Dave, they were exceptional when it came to professionalism, their attention to detail, and you could tell that they cared.”
