Houston Offshore & Maritime Injury Lawyer
Maritime injuries are governed by their own body of law. Whether you are a seaman covered by the Jones Act, a dock worker under the Longshore Act, or a passenger on a vessel, the rules for who pays and how much are very different from a land case.
How we handle a offshore & maritime injury case
Jones Act claims
Seamen can pursue maintenance and cure plus negligence and unseaworthiness claims against the vessel owner.
Longshore and harbor workers
Dock, terminal and shipyard workers may have LHWCA benefits plus third-party claims.
We get the vessel evidence
Logs, crew statements, maintenance records and safety meeting notes before memories and files fade.
Mistakes that cost people money
- Signing a company accident report that understates the injury
- Accepting maintenance payments that are far below what the law requires
- Using only the company doctor
- Waiting to report an injury that first felt minor
