Maritime Accidents

Texas Maritime Accident Lawyer

Maritime law governs navigation and shipping in the South Texas and Gulf of Mexico regions. If a workplace or maritime accident injury has threatened your long-term physical well-being and livelihood, I want to hear the details immediately. Please contact me, attorney Anthony W. Hernandez, for immediate assistance.

Nearly 20 years of experience handling maritime accident cases, offshore rig accident cases and longshore cases, has given me extensive knowledge of such laws as the Jones Act, Public Vessels Act and Death on the High Seas Act. Rest assured I can argue knowledgeably and persuasively on your behalf.

As a seaman, officer, engineer, cook, oil rig tool pusher or driller, you are entitled to protection from the negligent acts of another, workplace accidents and un-seaworthy vessels. For example, you may seriously injure your back, neck or shoulder lifting cargo. While this may not be of the utmost importance to your employer, it is to me. That's because I represent only injured victims, not insurance companies.

Please call my toll-free phone number, fax or e-mail me immediately when a serious maritime accident has occurred, so we can arrange a free initial consultation.

Representing Injured Victims, Not Insurance Companies

Your serious offshore rig accident or boat accident may have resulted in numerous broken bones, paralysis or even amputation. Perhaps you suffered burn injuries triggered or caused by an oil rig or ship explosion. During the course of my 20 years of practice, I have protected the rights of victims of electrocution, drowning or wrongful deaths caused by defective equipment on oil rigs and a variety of ships.

As with the many FELA claims cases I've successfully handled for railroad workers throughout Texas and the U.S., many workers injured on ships, rigs or barges are not covered by workers' compensation laws. As a result, your unique injury and legal situation calls for unique legal representation. I have consistently provided that for my clients, time and time again.

If you believe that you have a potential maritime accident case, one that demands complete financial compensation for you and your family, please don't let an applicable statute of limitations prevent you from seeking justice.

By Phone, Fax or E-Mail

Have you been seriously hurt in an offshore maritime work accident or suffered a seamen injury? I can help seek financial compensation for your lost wages and mounting medical bills.
