From ship collisions and deck accidents to equipment failures and chemical exposures, these incidents can leave hardworking offshore workers with life-changing injuries. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our maritime attorneys have decades of experience fighting for the rights of seamen under the Jones Act, Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), and general maritime law.
If you or a loved one suffered an injury while working offshore in Port Arthur, Beaumont, or anywhere along the Texas Gulf Coast, our dedicated legal team is here to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
Your Rights as an Injured Seaman in Port Arthur
As a seaman, you are entitled to special protections that many other workers do not have. Under the Jones Act, you may bring a claim against your employer if negligence or unsafe conditions on the vessel caused your injury. In addition, you have the right to maintenance and cure—daily living expenses and medical treatment—regardless of fault.
Our Port Arthur seaman injury lawyers handle cases involving:
- Shipboard falls and ladder accidents
- Deck and cargo handling injuries
- Tugboat, barge, and tanker accidents on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
- Fires, explosions, and toxic exposure
- Crane, winch, and heavy-equipment failures
- Collisions in the Sabine-Neches Waterway
We know the ports, refineries, and waterways of Port Arthur, and we understand the risks faced by maritime workers in this region.
