Jones Act – Seamen Injuries

Because of our location, we are in a position to assist seamen who sail in the Gulf of Mexico or through the port of Houston. We can file a Jones Act claim against a ship's owner if negligence caused a seaman's injury. We can begin a wrongful death action if a sailor has died. Our attorneys are knowledgeable about the laws governing death and injury at sea, and use that knowledge to help our seaman clients obtain a just settlement or verdict.

Offshore Accidents

We help workers injured on oil and gas rigs, supply boats for those rigs, and on any other type of floating platform or other offshore sites. We also represent workers injured onshore --for example, dock workers or longshoremen and have helped many workers receive just compensation for their injuries.

Pleasure Craft

Even though the state provides registration for pleasure boats, accidents involving these boats are frequently dealt with under maritime law, rather than Texas law. Our law firm is able to handle claims related to unsafe operation of any pleasure boat, as we are familiar with the different bodies of law that apply in boating accidents.

Contact a Houston Admiralty and Maritime Law Attorney

Law of the seas is different from other traditional types of law. We have the attorneys to handle it. If you have been injured at sea, on an oil rig, or on a pleasure craft, contact an admiralty lawyer at Klitsas & Vercher, P.C. We have the knowledge and experience to help. Clients pay no attorney's fee until we recover payment for their injuries.
