Louisiana’s offshore, oilfield, and industrial workers risk their lives every shift. When Louisiana’s most dangerous industries cause catastrophic injury or death, workers’ comp alone rarely covers what’s been lost. Neblett, Beard & Arsenault goes beyond the minimum — we vigorously investigate these events, we identify every party whose negligence caused you harm, and we pursue maximum recovery for you and your family.

For over 40 years, our injury attorneys have represented offshore Louisiana workers injured in accidents across every industry of this state:

Merchant seamen and offshore workers have rights under federal maritime law outside workers’ comp restrictions. Our offshore injury attorneys have decades of experience with and a deep knowledge of the Jones Act, LHWCA, and maritime law.

Explosions, blowouts, and equipment failures on rigs and platforms cause some of the most severe injuries Our Clients face. We build cases that hold operators, contractors, and facility owners accountable.

When negligence on a plant floor leads to burns, amputations, or the loss of a loved one, we go after every responsible party.

Railway incidents and collisions with cars and pedestrians along Louisiana’s Union Pacific, BNSF, and KCS lines can cause devastating, life-altering injuries. Our attorneys have a pedigree of courtroom victories and maximum recoveries for clients in railroad crossing, train derailment, and wrongful death train impact cases.

Falls from height, scaffolding collapses, crush injuries, and equipment failures on job sites are often preventable. We hold negligent contractors and site owners accountable.

When comp benefits fall short of covering catastrophic injuries, we help you pursue every avenue of recovery available under the law.

Vessel owners, oilfield operators, and industrial employers have teams of lawyers working to minimize what they pay you. We’ve spent over 40 years defeating their tactics in Louisiana courtrooms across the state.

We’ve recovered over $10 billion for Our Clients by building cases that win. We investigate the accident and the fault of all parties, gather the evidence, bring in the right experts, and pursue every avenue of recovery — not just the workers’ comp minimum.

You’re hurt, your bills are piling up, and your family is scared about what comes next. We treat you like family. Our Attorneys are always available, Our Staff knows you by name, and we handle the legal fight so you can focus on healing.

Our Team has spent decades taking on vessel owners, oilfield operators, and industrial employers — and winning for the workers and families they hurt. We know how to build cases that get results. See the entire team.
