What a Weslaco Accident Attorney Can Do

Personal injury lawyers provide plaintiffs with representation at every stage of the recovery process. Without a lawyer, seriously injured claimants are forced to spend hours on the phone with insurers, claims adjusters, and investigators. In order to save themselves money on your claim, insurers will put plaintiffs through the wringer: forcing them to see doctors hours from where they live, lowballing their settlements, or giving them the run-around to keep the claim from moving forward.

What a lawyer does is handle 100% of that for you. Don’t like the doctor that the insurance company assigned you to? Your lawyer can argue for a different one, or make sure you get a doctor you trust. Insurer offer you almost nothing to settle? Your attorney can take them to court. A lawyer offers protection, and it lets insurance companies and at-fault parties know that you can’t be pushed around.

Weslaco Offshore Injury Attorneys

If you’ve been injured in a serious maritime accident, turn to the foremost offshore injury law firm in the country: Arnold & Itkin. Since 2004, our firm has been the leading maritime law firm for plaintiffs, representing injured workers in some of the toughest cases nationwide. Offshore workers turn to use because we’ve secured billions in verdicts and settlements, letting our clients live their lives without worry or anxiety about the future.

The Leaders in Maritime Law

Arnold & Itkin has been at the heart of nearly every major maritime accident investigation for more than a decade. Our firm represented a third of the crew of the Deepwater Horizon after the tragic explosion, four widows left behind by the sinking of the El Faro, the family of a young man killed in a barge explosion off Port Aransas, a worker injured in a dredge explosion in Corpus Christi, and countless other offshore accidents. Every time, we won a verdict or a settlement that ensured our clients would be taken care of for the rest of their lives.

Fighting for the Victims of Barge & Dredge Accidents

Barges, dredges, and shipping vessels are the heart and soul of America’s massive logistics network. Without barge workers and dredge crews, the country would come to a standstill. That’s why we believe it’s our job to fight for workers who have been injured on the job in barge accidents and dredge collisions.

In 2017, we filed a lawsuit against Bouchard Transportation on behalf of a young man who was killed in a massive explosion off Port Aransas. Bouchard’s barges had a defect that would allow flammable vapors to gather in the hold of the ship, creating a time bomb. When we investigated the death of their employee, we uncovered that Bouchard knew their barges were at risk of exploding. Injury and death due to dredge and barge accidents are preventable. Often, they only happen because a higher-up decided to cut corners or stop paying attention.

When that happens, we’re there to fight for the injured against at-fault companies.

Can I Get Fired for Speaking with an Offshore Injury Lawyer?

There’s no way your employer will know you spoke to us unless you tell them. Our free consultations are 100% confidential. But even if your employer knew you’d spoken to an attorney, it’s your right to advocate for yourself after you’ve been injured. Employers often attempt to intimidate or scare their employees out of getting representation because they know that having an attorney matters. Think of it this way: your employer already has a lawyer. The only reason they don’t want you to get a lawyer is so they can settle your case for cheap or keep you from uncovering their negligence. You have nothing to fear from calling a lawyer, and everything to gain.

Do I Need to See the Company Doctor?

Your company may have arranged for you to see a doctor they’ve chosen to check out your injuries. However, we urge you to get a second opinion. Company doctors often make their money from referrals from companies like your employer, which means they’re incentivized to offer diagnoses that favor the company. Remember, your company’s doctor will only offer treatment your company is willing to pay for, so you may not get the full treatment you need. It’s vital that you get a doctor who has your interests—and only your interests—at heart.

Am I a Jones Act Seaman?

If you spend at least 30% of your job working on a vessel on a navigable waterway (including ports, channels, rivers, and at sea), then you are eligible for a Jones Act claim. If you’re still unsure about your eligibility, you can always speak with our firm in a free consultation: (888) 493-1629.

Common Questions

  • What Can I Claim in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

    Plaintiffs can claim any financial losses that resulted from or were related to their injuries. At minimum, that includes medical costs, future treatment costs, lost wages due to hospitalization, lost earning capacity due to permanent harm, and other economic damages. Catastrophic injuries can also allow plaintiffs to claim noneconomic damages like physical pain and suffering, emotional and mental anguish, loss of quality of life, and loss of consortium.

    The answer to that question depends on what you’ve lost or will lose in the future as a result of your injuries. What sets our firm apart is our ability to see the whole picture of our clients’ lives. We hire economists, healthcare experts, financial planners, and other specialists to calculate the full financial impact of each client’s injuries.

To determine the worth of your case, you’ll need to speak with our firm in a free consultation.
