Every day, thousands of 18-wheelers and tanker trucks move through Deer Park, La Porte, and Pasadena, hauling chemicals, containers, and industrial freight between Bayport, Barbours Cut, and the Houston Ship Channel. These trucks share the road with refinery workers, longshoremen, and families — and when an accident happens, the results are devastating.
At Gilman & Allison, LLP, we represent Texans injured in commercial trucking and freight-route collisions across Southeast Houston’s industrial belt. Our attorneys bring decades of combined maritime and industrial law experience, giving us a unique advantage when investigating refinery, port, and freight carrier accidents involving serious injuries or wrongful death.
When a company ignores safety regulations, load limits, or driver fatigue laws, we make sure they are held accountable — whether the crash occurred on Highway 225, Beltway 8, Spencer Highway, or Red Bluff Road.

Local Texas Attorneys with Maritime & Industrial Insight
From refinery gates to port terminals, Deer Park, La Porte, and Pasadena form the heart of Texas’s energy and shipping corridor. When heavy trucks and hazardous materials share these roads, one mistake can lead to explosions, fires, or multi-vehicle pileups.
The attorneys at Gilman & Allison, LLP aren’t just personal-injury lawyers — they’re U.S. Merchant Marine-licensed professionals with backgrounds in marine cargo operations and industrial safety. We understand how freight, refinery, and port operations intersect, and we use that insight to trace fault from the driver to the dispatcher to the carrier or shipper.
Our mission is simple: protect the workers, families, and communities that keep Houston’s ports and refineries running — and make negligent companies pay for the harm they cause.
