David W. Robertson, Injuries to Marine Petroleum Workers: A Plea for Radical Simplification, 55 TEXAS L. REV. 973 (1977).
 

Abstract:
The Article presents a picture of the injury system that had developed for offshore oil workers prior to the effective date of the 1972 amendments to the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Worker’s Compensation Act. Professor Robertson analyses the probable effects of the amendments of the rights of these workers and outlines the elements of a more rational scheme currently within the court’s reach.
