Offshore work is dangerous by design. Long hours, heavy machinery, unpredictable weather, and high-pressure production schedules create constant risk for serious injury. When offshore workers are hurt, vessel owners and energy companies often move quickly to limit liability, shift blame, or force injured workers back to work before they are medically ready. That is where experienced offshore injury lawyers make the difference.
Our firm represents offshore workers injured in the Gulf of Mexico, including incidents involving jack-up rigs, drillships, semi-submersibles, offshore supply vessels, crew boats, barges, and fixed platforms. We handle offshore injury claims arising out of unsafe conditions, negligent operations, equipment failures, fires and explosions, crane accidents, slips and falls, and catastrophic offshore incidents. These cases are complex, high-value, and aggressively defended—and we build them accordingly.
Whether your injury occurred offshore out of Texas ports, during crew transfer, or while performing assigned duties at sea, you may have significant legal rights. Offshore injury cases are governed by specialized laws and strict timelines. Early investigation and experienced counsel are critical.
Offshore injuries often involve catastrophic harm—including spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, orthopedic damage, and wrongful death. These cases frequently require immediate action to preserve evidence such as vessel logs, safety manuals, maintenance records, electronic data, and witness statements before they disappear or are altered.
Depending on the facts, offshore injury claims may involve vessel negligence, unsafe work practices, defective equipment, inadequate training, or failure to provide a safe place to work. Liability may extend beyond a single company to include vessel owners, operators, charterers, contractors, and third-party service providers. Our firm understands offshore operations and how responsibility is shared—and hidden—across multiple entities.
Additionally, our team brings a level of maritime credibility that few law firms can match. Our attorneys at Gilman & Allison, LLP are licensed Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) holders and are graduates of Texas A&M University at Galveston, one of the nation’s premier maritime academies.
If you were injured offshore, this is not a situation to “wait and see.” Offshore cases are won early through decisive investigation, pressure on defendants, and trial-ready litigation strategy. Gilman & Allison, LLP is prepared to take immediate action to protect your rights and pursue the full compensation you are owed.
