Houma Attorneys for Aviation Work Injuries
The injury or death of a loved one in a plane or helicopter accident is incredibly tragic, especially when it is during a ferry ride to the oil rig the victim worked on. Uncertainty regarding the rights of the injured person and their family during this time is common and understandable. When you are fighting with the victim’s employer for compensation, things become even more confusing.
Aviation accident victims and their families hire St. Martin & Bourque because of our many years of experience handling accidents involving helicopters transporting individuals offshore, along with our representation of individuals injured or killed in commercial and general aviation crashes.
We Know How To Hold Them Accountable

We are not afraid of big companies or their attorneys, and we have a long track record of fighting them for our clients’ fair compensation.
