Maritime work is dangerous, and when accidents happen on a ship, the consequences can be life-changing. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, we represent injured seamen, longshoremen, and offshore workers across the Texas coast—from Houston and Galveston to Corpus Christi, Beaumont, and Port Arthur.
Shipboard injuries can occur on cargo vessels, tankers, barges, offshore supply vessels, and cruise ships. Common accidents include falls on slippery decks, crane or winch failures, mooring line snap-backs, toxic chemical exposure, fires, and equipment malfunctions. If your injury occurred aboard a vessel, you may have rights under the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), or General Maritime Law.
With decades of maritime law experience, our lawyers bring more than just courtroom skills—we bring firsthand knowledge of ship operations. Co-founders Doug Gilman and Brent Allison are Texas A&M Maritime Academy graduates who understand the unique risks seamen and harbor workers face every day.
Our firm is Aggie-owned and operated, built on maritime tradition, and dedicated to protecting injured workers. We maintain offices in both Houston and Corpus Christi, serving maritime clients across the Gulf Coast.
