Oilfield Accidents
Our firm specializes in representing victims of oilfield accidents, including explosions, equipment malfunctions, and toxic exposure. We investigate negligence, hold corporations accountable, and secure compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and wrongful death. With expertise in Permian Basin and Gulf Coast operations, we navigate complex third-party claims to ensure fair recovery for workers and families.
Maritime Claims
We advocate for maritime workers injured under the Jones Act, including offshore drilling and shipping accidents. Our team addresses negligence, unseaworthiness, and employer misconduct, recovering damages for medical care, disability, and lost income. With knowledge of federal maritime law, we protect the rights of seafarers and offshore crews in state and federal courts.
Wrongful Death
We support families pursuing wrongful death claims due to workplace accidents, oilfield fatalities, or maritime incidents. Our attorneys handle complex litigation against corporations, ensuring compensation for funeral costs, lost financial support, and emotional trauma. We emphasize accountability and long-term financial security for surviving dependents.
Burn Injuries
Our firm represents clients with catastrophic burn injuries from industrial accidents, chemical exposure, or explosions. We collaborate with medical experts to quantify lifelong care costs, secure settlements covering reconstructive surgery, rehabilitation, and lost earning capacity, and challenge insurance companies to ensure full compensation for physical and psychological damages.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
We handle traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases caused by workplace accidents, falls, or transportation incidents. Our approach includes consulting neurologists to document cognitive impairments, negotiating settlements for ongoing therapy, and litigating against negligent parties to cover lifetime medical and adaptive living expenses.
