Working offshore is dangerous. Whether you are on a vessel, oil platform, towboat, barge, tugboat, offshore supply vessel, or drilling rig, one unsafe decision can lead to catastrophic injuries or death.
At Sorrels Law, we represent injured seamen, maritime workers, offshore employees, and grieving families throughout Texas and beyond. Our team understands the unique laws that govern offshore and maritime claims, including the Jones Act, general maritime law, and Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act claims.
We know how maritime companies and insurers operate after serious accidents — and we know how to fight back.
Sorrels Law handles a wide range of maritime injury and offshore wrongful death claims.
No obligation. No fee unless we win.
Maritime companies and their insurance carriers often begin investigating serious accidents immediately after they happen. Their goal is often to reduce financial exposure and limit your recovery before you fully understand your rights.
Sorrels Law prepares every offshore injury case aggressively from day one. Our attorneys understand the dangerous conditions maritime workers face and the tactics companies use after catastrophic accidents.
Our team is committed to protecting injured workers and their families against powerful maritime employers, contractors, and insurers.
The actions you take immediately after an offshore or maritime accident can significantly affect your case and your financial recovery.
Notify your employer or supervisor as soon as possible after the incident.
Do not provide written or recorded statements to company investigators or insurance representatives without speaking to a lawyer first.
Many offshore accidents involve third-party contractors, vessel operators, or outside companies that may also be responsible.
Take photographs, gather witness information, document vessel names, and preserve as much evidence as possible.
Investigations by the Coast Guard or company representatives may later be used in litigation.
Do not sign documents, accept settlements, or return to work before understanding your legal rights.
The Jones Act is a federal law that allows injured seamen to pursue claims against their employers for negligence.
Generally, maritime workers who spend a substantial amount of time working aboard a vessel in navigation may qualify as seamen under maritime law.
Maintenance and cure are benefits that may require maritime employers to pay for an injured seaman’s medical treatment and basic living expenses.
Unlike many land-based workers, seamen may have the right to sue employers directly under the Jones Act.
Many offshore cases involve third-party contractors or outside companies that may also be legally responsible.
Deadlines vary depending on the claim type, making it important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
If you or a loved one was injured or killed offshore, on a vessel, or in a maritime accident, Sorrels Law is prepared to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Our attorneys understand the offshore industry, maritime law, and the high-stakes nature of these cases. We are ready to stand up to companies and insurers on your behalf.
