Shipboard work along the Texas Gulf Coast exposes maritime workers to constant danger. Heavy machinery, unstable decks, cargo operations, long shifts, and vessel automation failures make serious injuries all too common. When you are hurt aboard a ship, your claim is governed by federal maritime law — not ordinary Texas workers’ compensation — and the outcome often depends on whether your lawyer truly understands vessel operations and port work.
Our Texas ship injury lawyers represent injured seamen, deckhands, engineers, officers, and maritime workers hurt aboard vessels operating out of the Port of Houston, Port of Galveston, Port of Corpus Christi, Port Arthur, and Port of Beaumont. We handle serious ship injuries involving gangways, mooring lines, hatch covers, cargo gear, cranes, and unsafe vessel conditions throughout Texas ports, ship channels, and inland waterways.
We represent injured maritime workers in high-stakes ship injury cases, including:
Depending on your job duties and vessel status, you may have claims under the Jones Act, General Maritime Law, Maintenance and Cure, or the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). Shipowners and operators begin protecting themselves immediately after an accident. Our Texas ship injury lawyers do the same for you — preserving evidence, investigating the vessel, and pursuing maximum compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and future earning capacity.
