Terminal/Stevedore Accident?

Every day, longshoremen, crane operators, and terminal workers keep Texas ports moving — loading containers, operating heavy lifts, and handling dangerous cargo. When safety lapses occur, these workers face life-changing injuries.

At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our Texas port injury lawyers represent terminal employees, ILA members, and stevedores injured while working at Bayport Container Terminal, Barbours Cut, Freeport, Beaumont, and Port Arthur. We know how fast cargo must move — and how quickly companies try to shift blame when someone gets hurt.

Common terminal injuries include:

• Forklift and yard-truck collisions

• Struck-by and crush injuries from falling containers

• Crane and spreader-bar failures

• Slip-and-fall injuries on slick decks or cargo holds

• Equipment malfunctions and unsafe loading procedures

Whether your claim falls under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) or a 905(b) vessel negligence action, our attorneys have handled these cases for decades — in both federal and state maritime courts.
