⚓ Fighting for Injured Offshore Workers Across the Gulf Coast
When an offshore injury changes your life, you need attorneys who know what it’s like to work on the water. At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our Texas maritime lawyers represent offshore workers, seamen, rig crews, and vessel employees injured anywhere along the Gulf of Mexico — from Houston and Galveston to Corpus Christi and Port Arthur.
We understand that offshore accidents aren’t like ordinary workplace injuries. They involve complex maritime laws, federal jurisdiction, and powerful employers with insurance companies working against you. Our attorneys use their real-world maritime experience and proven trial results to help you get the justice and compensation you deserve.
⚙️ Common Offshore Accidents We Handle
Our offshore injury lawyers represent clients in cases involving:
- Oil rig and platform explosions
- Deck and crane accidents
- Slip-and-fall injuries at sea
- Lifting or line-handling injuries
- Fires, blowouts, and chemical exposure
- Vessel collisions and equipment failures
- Helicopter or crew boat transport accidents
- Wrongful death at sea
If you were hurt while working on a jack-up rig, drilling vessel, or supply boat, you may be covered under the Jones Act or General Maritime Law. We’ll help you understand your rights, calculate your full damages, and pursue the maximum recovery available.
⚖️ How the Jones Act Protects Offshore Workers
The Jones Act (46 U.S.C. § 30104) gives seamen the right to recover compensation when their employer’s negligence contributes to an injury. This includes unsafe working conditions, improper maintenance, and inadequate training.
Our firm handles every aspect of a Jones Act case — from proving employer negligence and unseaworthiness to fighting back against Limitation of Liability defenses. We also pursue Maintenance & Cure benefits wrongfully delayed or denied after an accident.
If your employer or its insurer tries to rush you into signing papers, call us first. We know how these companies operate — and how to hold them accountable.
