Dedicated Offshore and Maritime Accident Advocacy

Louisiana's offshore oil and gas refinery industry provides high-paying yet hazardous jobs. Offshore accidents and maritime mishaps are subject to specific federal and state laws, including the Jones Act and general maritime law. Miles Matt has a extensive background working as an engineer in the Gulf of Mexico oil industry prior to practicing law, giving him unparalleled, first-hand knowledge of drilling platforms, offshore platforms, and refinery machinery.

Winning Complex Product Liability Claims

Defective consumer goods or faulty industrial equipment cause severe harm to workers and consumers every year. Proving a product liability claim is exceptionally difficult, as it requires demonstrating design defects, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warning labels. Both Miles Matt and Jason Matt hold bachelor's degrees in mechanical engineering, making them uniquely qualified to examine blueprints, structural integrity, and industrial machinery designs. They employ these engineering insights to challenge corporate manufacturers and secure justice for victims injured by unsafe, defective products.
