Located just across the channel from Galveston, Bolivar Peninsula is a vital part of Texas’s maritime industry — with ferries, shrimping vessels, charter boats, and offshore traffic moving daily through the Gulf. When an injury happens on the water, you need an attorney who understands both the sea and the law.
At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our Bolivar maritime attorneys represent crew members, longshoremen, commercial fishermen, and passengers injured in boating accidents, dock incidents, and offshore vessel operations. We handle cases under the Jones Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), and general maritime law, including Section 905(b) negligence actions.
We help with:
Offshore and deckhand injuries
Dock and pier accidents
Boat and jet-ski collisions
Crew and ferry worker claims
Charter and commercial vessel injuries
Slip-and-fall or unsafe deck conditions
Our firm moves quickly to investigate the cause, secure maintenance logs, navigation data, and Coast Guard reports, and fight for the full compensation you deserve — medical costs, lost wages, and long-term disability. Whether your case involves a shrimp boat in Galveston Bay or a ferry at Port Bolivar, we have the maritime experience to win.
Beyond injury cases, Bolivar is home to marinas, ferry services, and boatyards that make maritime commerce thrive. Our attorneys also counsel and represent individuals and companies in marine business and transactional matters, including:
Vessel and boat-sale contracts (title, liens, misrepresentation)
Marina and shipyard agreements
Marine insurance and warranty disputes
Brokerage and commission claims
Charter and service-agreement drafting
Because several of our lawyers hold U.S. Coast Guard credentials and have direct maritime experience, we understand both the legal and operational side of the Gulf’s marine industry. We advise owners, operators, and contractors on compliance, risk management, and contract enforcement to keep their business protected.
Whether you were injured offshore or need legal guidance for your vessel or marine business, Gilman & Allison, LLP is ready to help. We proudly represent clients across Port Bolivar, High Island, Crystal Beach, and the entire Gulf Coast region.
