If your job involves working on a vessel at sea, along the Gulf Coast, in a river system, or on an oil rig or cruise ship offshore, you are not entitled to workers’ compensation.
Instead, you are covered by federal admiralty law, also known as “maritime law” or the “Jones Act.” Our Offshore Injury Attorneys have extensive experience fighting for the compensation injured seaman deserve.
Federal maritime law and the Jones Act are extremely complicated. Only a handful of law firms and lawyers across the country handle these types of complex cases and have a track record of success. When it comes to helping injured offshore workers get the compensation they deserve, VB Attorneys is known as a leader in Houston maritime injury claims.
Brian Beckcom, one of VB Attorneys’ founding partners, is widely considered one of the nation’s leading offshore injury attorneys for cases involving maritime accidents and injuries. Contact our team today to discuss your rights under the Jones Act.
