The Jones Act is a federal law that provides powerful protections for seamen and offshore workers who are injured while working on navigable waters. Unlike traditional workers’ compensation, the Jones Act allows injured maritime workers to pursue compensation directly from their employers when negligence, unsafe working conditions, or inadequate equipment caused their injuries. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our Texas Jones Act attorneys understand the unique challenges faced by seamen aboard tugboats, tankers, cargo ships, and offshore rigs. We investigate the accident, gather evidence of employer negligence, and build strong claims to maximize your recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
With offices in Houston and Corpus Christi, our law firm has decades of experience representing injured seamen and offshore workers along the Texas Gulf Coast and nationwide. Founding partners Brent Allison and Doug Gilman both come from strong maritime backgrounds, giving us insider knowledge of vessel operations and employer responsibilities under the Jones Act. We fight aggressively against major shipping companies, offshore operators, and their insurers to ensure our clients receive the justice they deserve. If you or a loved one has been injured while serving as a seaman, don’t delay—strict deadlines apply to Jones Act claims.
