If you were injured working at a Texas port, you need attorneys who understand maritime law and port operations—not just general injury law. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, we represent longshoremen, dock workers, and port employees across the Port of Houston (Bayport, Barbours Cut), Corpus Christi, Freeport, Galveston, and Port Arthur.
Longshore claims are governed by federal law, including the LHWCA and Section 905(b) vessel negligence claims. These cases often involve multiple parties—vessel owners, terminal operators, and contractors—all trying to avoid liability.
We handle:
Crane and cargo accidents
Falling containers and unsecured loads
Forklift and heavy equipment injuries
Dock and vessel slip and falls
Mooring line and rigging failures
Dock injuries are rarely “no-fault.” In Texas ports, accidents often trace back to unsafe vessels, defective equipment, poor traffic control, or negligent contractors. Our attorneys know how to build LHWCA claims and identify third-party liability to maximize recovery.
What sets our Texas longshoreman lawyers apart:
Federal maritime focus: We handle LHWCA claims daily and know the deadlines, medical rules, and wage calculations that insurers try to use against you.
Third-party investigations: We pursue claims against vessel owners, terminal operators, stevedores, and equipment manufacturers when their negligence caused your injury.
Port-specific experience: From Barbours Cut and Bayport to Texas City and Freeport terminals, we understand how Texas ports operate—and where safety failures occur.
No upfront fees: We work on contingency, so you don’t pay unless we recover for you.
Time matters. If you were hurt working the docks anywhere along the Texas Gulf Coast, talk to a longshoreman injury lawyer who understands maritime law and Texas port operations.
