Searching For A Maritime Attorney Near You?

Suffering from a maritime injury while working at sea can leave your future feeling uncertain. If you’re searching for a "maritime attorney near me," you may not realize that you don’t have to limit your search to local lawyers.

Federal maritime laws like the Jones Act give you the right to choose a qualified legal expert from anywhere in the country.

WHY US

Three Reasons Our Firm Can Help Regardless of Where You Live

Maritime and Jones Act laws are based on Federal laws, and our legal services are designed to cater to these specific areas. It does not matter what state you live in; the law will be Federal law and we have handled these cases for decades.

Most maritime cases can be filed in a variety of locations. Louisiana has contacts with hundreds of maritime companies and offshore rig and supply boat companies. Chances are your claim can be filed in Louisiana.

You can see your local doctors even if your claim is filed outside of your city or state. Local medical treatment, regional legal help.

Decades of Maritime Law Experience Is Rare...But We Have It

While your first search may be for a "maritime lawyer near me," in reality extremely qualified and experienced maritime attorneys may not be available in your exact area for several reasons:

  1. First, most attorneys do not know how to handle a complicated maritime case. Your case is not a car wreck claim; it’s a sophisticated Federal law claim.
  2. Next, even for the attorneys who do handle these maritime injury claims, they typically have handled very, very few. Our office has personally handled hundreds of maritime claims and personal injury claims over the last 30 years. It is what we do for 95% of our practice.
  3. Finally, the Federal court that covers most of the Gulf of Mexico area is in New Orleans, literally right across the street from our office. It’s where we spend the most of our time.

In addition to maritime law, we focus on maritime injury cases that arise from accidents on vessels or major bodies of water.

How the Jones Act Protects You

The Jones Act is a federal law that safeguards maritime workers injured due to employer negligence. It enables you to pursue compensation for:

  • Medical expenses

  • Lost wages

  • Pain and suffering

  • Loss of future earning potential

Since the Jones Act is federal, your lawyer doesn’t have to be local to represent you effectively. What matters most is finding a skilled attorney with experience in maritime law.
