Offshore workers work in dangerous environments. These workers make significant sacrifices. They are often away from their family for months. Suppose you have been seriously injured working offshore on a rig or other vessel. In that case, you need to contact our office for strategic, effective representation—the exact kind of image you deserve as an injured seaman or offshore worker.
Houston, Texas, has a robust economy that is based heavily on the oil and shipping industry. As a result, there are thousands of workers on boats, oil rigs, and harbors, with much of this work being very dangerous. Unfortunately, despite the best of intentions and care, accidents happen, and many maritime workers get injured each year.
But due to the physical nature of many of these jobs, getting injured at work is extremely costly and results in losing out on a lot of potential income. A simple on-the-job injury can result in a worker unable to pay the bills and provide for his or her family. Then on top of that, there is the physical injury itself, which may result in permanent disability, disfigurement, or prevent the individual from working in the maritime industry ever again.
