Jones Act & Maritime Injury
Maritime Accidents
Throughout the Gulf of Mexico, the coastal regions of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, and on inland waters reaching as far as St. Louis, oil and gas industry employees, seamen, and dockworkers are exposed to dangerous working conditions.
On-the-job injuries and deaths occur too often in the oil and gas industry. Offshore workers routinely suffer injuries caused by dangerous conditions on platforms, spars, jack-up rigs, tankers, crew boats, lay barges, and other vessels. Diving accidents, gas explosions, lost overboard deaths, and injuries from dangerous equipment frequently take limbs and lives.
Our attorneys represent injured workers and their families in serious injury and wrongful death claims governed by the Jones Act and other maritime laws. Because of our experience suing oil and gas companies, shipping companies, and their insurance providers, our lawyers are ready, willing, and more than able to face them in court.
If a member of your family has been seriously injured or killed as a result of a maritime accident or offshore injury, it is extremely important that you get sound legal advice before you contact your employer or its insurance company. If you would like to speak with one of our maritime attorneys, please contact our Houston office for a free consultation.
