Texas Maritime Injuries Attorney
The APFFEL LAW FIRM in League City, Texas, provides experienced representation to clients with cases in admiralty and maritime law. Our personal injury attorneys recover damages for vessel crew members who have been injured as the result of the negligence of their employers.
Given that our state is rich in oil, and because our proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, Texas plays host to a variety of oil rigs, boats, ships, jack-up oil drilling rigs, and propulsion barges. Serious accidents occur on these vessels every day, including:
- Capsizing
- Chemical Spills
- Collisions
- Drowning
- Explosions
- Falls on Slippery Decking
- Fires
- Injuries Resulting from Shifting Cargo
- Reckless Navigation
- Ship Channel Collisions
At the APFFEL LAW FIRM we are experienced with the handing of Jones Act cases. The Jones Act is a federal maritime law that allows members of commercial vessel crews to sue their employers for negligent actions. Our attorneys work with Jones Act seamen to obtain compensation for their injuries and lost wages, fighting hard for the maximum compensation allowable by law in their case. If we are unable to recover damages in your case, you do not owe us a fee.
If you have catastrophic burn injuries as the result of an explosion on an oil rig, or if you were hurt in a collision with another vessel, contact the APFFEL LAW FIRM to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced maritime lawyer.
