Offshore Injuries / Maritime Law

Baytown Offshore Injury and Maritime Law Attorney

Thousands of injuries occur in the Gulf of Mexico off of Texas' shores every year. These injuries happen to maritime workers, fishermen, boat passengers and others. Injuries that occur on the water are handled differently than other accident cases. At The Linebaugh Law Firm, we understand maritime law and represent clients who have been injured in all types of offshore accidents.

Dangerous Jobs, Serious Injuries, Major Medical Expenses

Working on a ship or other vessel can be one of the most dangerous jobs anywhere. Workers are at risk for any number of injuries, from slip and falls to serious head injuries. To make matters worse, many employers do not take the necessary steps to make their vessels as safe as they should be.

Many seamen injured on a vessel will quickly settle with an insurance company without accounting for the future medical and rehabilitative needs they may have. Unfortunately, many of these individuals are left with long-term expenses attributable to their injuries. At The Linebaugh Law Firm, we provide those injured at sea with aggressive representation that works towards gaining the maximum compensation for their injuries.

The Jones Act

The Jones Act provides benefits to sailors and seamen injured on the job. This compensation may be available to injured sea workers if it is determined that the injuries sustained were caused by the negligence of the employer.

Sea workers who face medical bills, lost wages and other expenses associated with the injury may be able to receive compensation under the Jones Act. Our maritime law attorneys handle complex injury cases, and work to seek maximum compensation for clients who face medical, rehabilitative and other bills.
