Texas seamen face some of the toughest and most dangerous working conditions in the world — rough Gulf weather, shifting decks, long shifts, and heavy machinery. When you’re hurt offshore, your livelihood and family stability are on the line. That’s where Gilman & Allison, LLP steps in.
Our maritime attorneys have U.S. Merchant Marine Officer licenses and decades of experience representing injured seamen under the Jones Act, General Maritime Law, and Maintenance and Cure doctrines. Whether you were working aboard a tug, offshore supply vessel, dredge, or tank ship, we understand your vessel, your duties, and your rights.
Our attorneys routinely handle offshore and bluewater vessel injuries aboard tugboats, tankers, dredges, and supply vessels, along with deckhand, engineer, and captain claims arising from unsafe practices or vessel automation failures.
If you were injured while working offshore from Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, or Port Arthur, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering under the Jones Act. Don’t let the company’s “claims rep” dictate your recovery — talk to real maritime trial lawyers who’ve worked the decks themselves.
From Galveston Bay to the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas seamen power the Gulf Coast’s shipping and offshore industries. But when injuries happen — on the Houston Ship Channel, Bolivar Roads anchorage, or Sabine Pass — employers and insurers often try to minimize payouts or claim the seaman was “not truly a crew member.” At Gilman & Allison, we fight back.
Our firm has over 60 years of combined maritime experience, representing captains, deckhands, ABs, and engineers in every major Gulf port. We’ve litigated complex Jones Act and vessel negligence cases before the Southern and Eastern Districts of Texas and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. We work closely with maritime safety experts, port pilots, and Coast Guard investigators to prove liability and secure maximum recovery.
Whether you were injured offshore on a tug, supply vessel, or tanker, or hurt transferring cargo nearshore, you have rights under maritime law. We make sure those rights are enforced — from Houston’s Turning Basin to Corpus Christi’s La Quinta Channel.
