Life offshore is demanding, dangerous, and unforgiving. Whether you work on a drilling rig, production platform, or offshore supply vessel, one mistake or equipment failure can change everything. When an accident happens in the Gulf, you need a law firm that knows both the maritime and offshore oilfield world — not one that has to learn it on the fly.
At Gilman & Allison, LLP, our attorneys have U.S. Merchant Marine Officer licenses and decades of experience representing injured offshore workers across the Texas Gulf Coast. We know the difference between a vessel injury and a fixed platform accident — and how each affects your rights under the Jones Act, Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), and General Maritime Law.
If you’ve been injured working on a drilling rig, supply boat, or production platform off the coasts of Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, or Port Arthur, we can help you recover for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Our team has handled claims involving helicopter transfers, heavy-lift operations, blowouts, and crane failures, and we fight to hold vessel owners and contractors accountable.
The Texas Gulf isn’t just coastline — it’s one of the busiest energy corridors in the world. From Galveston’s offshore platforms and Port Arthur’s refineries to Corpus Christi’s deepwater terminals, thousands of Texans make their living offshore. Unfortunately, when companies cut corners on safety or equipment maintenance, workers pay the price.
At Gilman & Allison, we handle all types of offshore injury claims, including those arising from oil and gas platform explosions, vessel collisions, deck accidents, and diving operations. We represent roughnecks, crane operators, supply vessel crew, welders, and offshore engineers, ensuring that every injured worker receives the full benefits available under federal maritime law.
Our attorneys have tried and settled offshore injury cases in the Southern and Eastern Districts of Texas and before the U.S. Fifth Circuit, bringing unmatched local knowledge to every claim. We work closely with maritime safety and engineering experts to prove how employer negligence or vessel unseaworthiness caused the accident.
Whether your injury happened 50 miles off Galveston, in the Corpus Christi offshore fields, or near Sabine Pass, we’ll stand with you from investigation through trial.
