Protecting Injured Dockworkers, Longshoremen & Terminal Employees
The Port of Corpus Christi is one of the busiest export hubs in America — and one of the most hazardous industrial environments in Texas. With massive container operations, oil and gas terminals, chemical tankers, dredging projects, and offshore logistics traffic, longshore and dock workers face dangerous conditions every day.
When a maritime worker is injured at the port, they deserve a law firm that understands maritime law, longshore claims, vessel liability, and South Texas port operations — not a general injury firm.
At Gilman & Allison, LLP, we represent longshoremen, stevedores, terminal workers, crane operators, riggers, line handlers, and dock personnel hurt at the Port of Corpus Christi and its surrounding terminals.
If you were injured on the docks, on a gangway, during cargo operations, or while working alongside vessels, call us today.

Understanding Your Rights: LHWCA & 905(b) Claims
Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA)
Provides medical care, disability benefits, and wage support for maritime employees not covered by the Jones Act.
905(b) Vessel Negligence Claims
If a vessel or its crew contributed to your injury — through unsafe operations, failure to warn, improper equipment, or negligent seamanship — you may file a 905(b) claim for additional financial compensation.
Most workers don’t realize they may be entitled to both remedies.
We make sure you get every dollar the law allows.
