When a spark turns into a tragedy, injured workers and families across the Texas Gulf Coast turn to Gilman & Allison, LLP. Our attorneys bring decades of experience handling electrical and fire-related injuries in both maritime and industrial environments — from the Houston Ship Channel and Bayport Terminal to Corpus Christi refineries and offshore platforms.
Whether it’s a crane operator electrocuted by an overhead line, a shipyard worker burned by faulty welding equipment, or a seaman injured after an engine-room fire, we understand what it takes to prove liability and secure full compensation.
Maritime & Offshore Fire and Electrical Accidents
At sea or dockside, fires and electrical failures can quickly become catastrophic. Our firm has represented clients injured aboard tankers, tugs, offshore rigs, barges, and terminals, investigating causes such as:
Faulty vessel wiring or ungrounded circuits
Poorly maintained generators and electrical systems
Improper hot work or welding practices
Negligent vessel maintenance by shipowners or contractors
Defective safety systems and firefighting equipment
Under the Jones Act, LHWCA, and 905(b) claims, seamen and longshoremen are entitled to compensation when unsafe conditions cause injury. We combine our U.S. Merchant Marine backgrounds with decades of trial experience to prove employer or vessel negligence — and recover damages for medical care, lost wages, and future impairment.
Industrial Electrocution & Fire Injury Claims in Texas
