Maritime Offshore Accidents
Because Houston has much oil and gas activity and major maritime industry, Davila Law is well versed in laws regarding these types of accidents. Some of the personal injury cases we handle include:
Offshore drilling rigs
Tug boats
River Tug
Crew boat
Push boat
Longshore & harbor workers
Jackup
Barge
Offshore supply
Freighter & cargo ship
Workover rigs

Our attorneys are well versed in laws relevant to these types of accidents. Longshoremen and dock workers have legal rights under the Longshore and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act. We file claims to help them recover compensation for lost wages, and medical expenses.

General maritime law provides maintenance and cure benefits to seamen. “Maintenance” is defined as a daily allowance that the employer pays to the employee while injured. “Cure” is defined as the coverage the employer pays for the employee’s medical bills. Unlike worker’s compensation that pays regardless of fault, maritime law requires proof of negligence before compensation is awarded. You can bring a lawsuit against your employer for negligence in working conditions, such as an unfit vessel or defective equipment in order to collect all damages, which may include pain and suffering, future medical expenses, past and future lost wages and other money damages.

For any questions regarding maritime cases, or if you would like a free office consultation to discuss your case, please call 713-926-0000.
