INJURED MARITIME WORKERS:
Suffering from a maritime injury while working at sea can leave your future feeling uncertain. If you’re searching for a maritime lawyer near you, you may not realize that you don’t have to limit your search to local lawyers.
Federal maritime laws like the Jones Act give you the right to choose a qualified legal expert to review your case from anywhere in the country.
WHY US
Maritime and Jones Act laws are based on Federal laws, and our legal services are designed to cater to these specific areas. It does not matter what state you live in; the law will be Federal law and we have handled these cases for decades.
Most Maritime cases can be filed in a variety of locations. Louisiana has connections with hundreds of maritime companies and offshore rig and supply boat companies. Chances are your claim can be filed in Louisiana.
You can see your local doctors even if your claim is filed outside of your city or state. You'll still get local medical treatment, even with regional legal help.
While your first search may be for a ‘maritime attorney near me’, in reality extremely qualified and experienced maritime attorneys may not be available in your exact area for several reasons.
First, most attorneys do not know how to respond to a complicated maritime case. Your case is not about car wreck liability; it’s a sophisticated Federal law claim.
Next, even for the attorneys who do assist in maritime injury claims, they typically have handled very, very few. Our office has personally handled hundreds of maritime claims and personal injury claims over the last 30 years. It is what we do for 95% of our practice.
Finally, the Federal court that covers most of the Gulf of Mexico area is in New Orleans, literally right across the street from our office. It’s where we spend the most of our time.
In addition to maritime law, we provide counsel for maritime injury cases that arise from accidents on vessels or major bodies of water.
For more than 30 years, our firm has provided counsel to injured maritime workers nationwide. We are well versed in Jones Act claims and maritime cases, bringing unmatched experience to guide you through this complex area of law. Whether you’re a captain, deckhand, rigger, dockworker, or offshore worker, we’re committed to fighting for the compensation you’re entitled to — no matter where you are located.
