Maritime law is complex. Your rights depend on your specific job and where you were injured. We have dedicated teams who specialize in every area of maritime law.

Maritime law provides a powerful set of rights that are very different from land-based workers’ compensation. Understanding these rights is the first step to protecting them. An employer’s failure to honor these duties can result in significant legal and financial consequences for them, and substantial additional compensation for you.
We Handle All Types of Maritime & Offshore Accidents
A vessel or offshore platform is an industrial worksite filled with inherent dangers. When companies cut corners on safety, training, or maintenance, catastrophic accidents happen. We have decades of experience investigating and litigating every type of maritime accident, holding negligent companies accountable for the harm they cause.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
Often caused by oil, grease, or water on deck, poorly maintained stairs, or unsecured equipment. These are not minor incidents; they can lead to career-ending back, neck, and head injuries.
Equipment Failure & Malfunctions
When winches, cranes, lines, or safety guards fail, the results are devastating. We investigate maintenance logs and company procedures to prove negligence.
Fires & Explosions
From engine room fires to catastrophic rig explosions, we have the resources to handle the most complex cases involving severe burns and wrongful death.
Deck, Barge & Platform Accidents
Injuries from falling objects, swinging loads, and unsafe personnel transfers are common when safety protocols are ignored.
Lifting & Overexertion Injuries
Employers have a duty to provide proper equipment and sufficient manpower for heavy lifting tasks. Herniated discs and joint injuries are often the result of this negligence.
Toxic Exposure
Exposure to chemicals like benzene, asbestos, and other toxic substances can lead to long-term illnesses and cancers. We fight for the future medical care you will need.

Free Consultation & Case Investigation
It starts with a free, confidential call. We listen to your story, analyze the facts, and immediately begin our investigation, preserving evidence before it disappears.
Filing the Lawsuit
We file a formal complaint in federal or state court, outlining your claims for negligence under the Jones Act, unseaworthiness, and any other applicable laws.

Armed with powerful evidence, we negotiate from a position of strength. Most cases are settled for a fair value at this stage, without ever going to court.
