If you were injured on a jack-up rig, barge, or platform in the Gulf, "land-lubber" laws don't apply. You need a firm that speaks the language of the Jones Act and the LHWCA. We do.
If you're a seaman injured in the course of employment, your employer owes you maintenance (daily living allowance) and cure (all medical treatment) until maximum medical improvement — regardless of fault. Many employers cut this off early. We fight for everything you are owed.
If the vessel or crew wasn't fit for duty, the ship owner may be liable. Unseaworthiness means any condition making the vessel unreasonably dangerous: faulty equipment, inadequate training, slippery decks, missing safety gear, overloaded cargo.
Offshore injuries involve complex lines between state and federal waters, Jones Act and LHWCA, maritime law and general negligence. Which law applies determines what you recover. Getting this wrong costs hundreds of thousands. We get it right.
The Gulf of Mexico is one of the most productive and dangerous offshore energy regions in the world. We handle Jones Act claims for seamen injured due to employer negligence, LHWCA claims for longshoremen and harbor workers, general maritime negligence claims, and wrongful death claims under the Death on the High Seas Act.
Common offshore injuries include crane and rigging accidents, falls from platforms, burns from flash fires, crushing injuries, chemical exposure, diving accidents, helicopter transport incidents, and injuries from poorly maintained decks and equipment.
Maritime law is its own world. If you were injured offshore, call 281-357-5297. Know your rights under the Jones Act.
