A day on the water should be fun — not end in the ER. Charter boat injuries are common around Galveston, Kemah, Corpus Christi, Bolivar, and South Padre Island, where captains sometimes overlook safety. Slippery decks, faulty equipment, or reckless navigation can cause serious harm to passengers and crew.
At Gilman & Allison, LLP, we help vacationers and maritime workers injured aboard charter vessels recover under the Jones Act and General Maritime Law. Our attorneys investigate negligence, mechanical failure, and Coast Guard violations to get you compensated for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
We handle:
Slip-and-fall deck injuries
Boat collisions and groundings
Propeller and entanglement incidents
Overcrowded or overloaded vessels
If you were hurt on a Texas charter trip, you may have federal maritime rights — even if it was “just a vacation.”
From Kemah Boardwalk marinas and Galveston Bay to the Bolivar ferry, Corpus Christi Harbor, and South Padre Island, every Texas port brings its own challenges — shifting tides, heavy traffic, and overlapping state and federal jurisdictions. When an injury happens, knowing where and how to file your claim can make all the difference.
At Gilman & Allison, LLP, we’ve spent decades representing Gulf Coast maritime workers, passengers, and vessel operators. Our attorneys understand how the Southern District of Texas and the Fifth Circuit interpret maritime injury law, and we know how insurance companies and charter operators try to minimize payouts. We move fast to secure evidence, logbooks, and witness statements before they disappear.
Whether you were a passenger on a Galveston sightseeing cruise, a deckhand on a South Padre fishing boat, or a captain injured while operating a charter near Corpus Christi, our team is ready to fight for you. We’ve recovered millions for maritime clients across the Gulf, and we bring the same focus and tenacity to every case — large or small.
