The Port of Galveston is one of the busiest cruise and shipping ports on the Gulf Coast, with thousands of seamen, longshoremen, and harbor workers moving cargo, assisting vessels, and keeping operations safe. Unfortunately, maritime workers face serious risks every day—from deck accidents and equipment failures to falls, toxic exposure, and vessel collisions.
At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our Galveston maritime lawyers represent injured seamen under the Jones Act and other maritime laws. We help crew members on cruise ships, cargo vessels, tugboats, and barges recover compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and future earning capacity. Our attorneys have real maritime backgrounds, which means we understand the dangers seamen face at sea and know how to hold negligent vessel owners accountable.
As the cruise capital of Texas, Galveston welcomes hundreds of thousands of passengers each year on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Disney cruises. Unfortunately, accidents and injuries at sea are common—from slip and falls on wet decks to illness outbreaks, unsafe excursions, or negligent crew members. Our attorneys fight for injured cruise passengers who deserve compensation for ruined vacations, medical bills, and lasting harm.
Beyond cruises, Galveston is also known for charter fishing trips and recreational boating. Accidents on vacation boats can cause serious injuries, especially when operators ignore safety rules, overload vessels, or fail to provide proper equipment. Whether you were injured on a charter fishing boat, party boat, or private yacht, our Galveston maritime attorneys are here to protect your rights.
