Maritime Accident Overview

Gulf Coast Maritime & Jones Act Accidents

The Gulf Coast region of Texas is host to hundreds of ocean-going vessels and platforms, including oil rigs, boats, propulsion barges and ships transferring goods and working within the region’s vibrant oil business. Unfortunately, injuries are common for workers on these vessels, sometimes due to negligence on the part of their employers.

Located in League City, at Apffel Law Firm, we represent injured oil rig workers and seamen throughout the Gulf Coast region of Texas and help them obtain needed compensation for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury or wrongful death in a maritime accident, we offer you skilled representation based upon 25 years of personal injury experience.

Representation for a Range of Maritime Injuries

Maritime work in the Gulf of Mexico is dangerous, especially for employees of companies that fail to comply with maritime workplace regulations. Common injuries and fatalities include:

• Drowning
• Chemical poisoning
• Slip and falls
• Burns
• Injuries from shifting cargo or collisions

Often, these injuries are the result of reckless navigation or poor workplace conditions. We help accident victims determine who was at fault for their injuries, and obtain due compensation.

Compliance with the Jones Act

The Jones Act entitles seamen injured on ocean-going vessels to the same worker’s compensation benefits afforded to land-based workers.  These benefits include compensation for wage loss, loss of wage earning capacity and medical bills. We can help you determine if Jones Act regulations apply for your maritime injury case.
