Houston Maritime Accident Attorney

Offshore workers have specific laws that guarantee their rights, the molina law firm can help you.

The Houston Ship Channel is one of the largest ports in the United States.  In addition, the petrochemical industry is a huge part of the Houston landscape as well as off-shore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.  Maritime injuries occur more often in Houston compared to other parts of the U.S.  Admiralty law governs accidents that occur on navigable rivers, oceans, and other waterways including harbors and docks.  If you have been injured in any of these areas due to negligence, then you could have a case under the Jones Act. Before you settle your injury claim with your company, please consider contacting an experienced maritime personal injury lawyer to discuss your options.

The Molina Law Firm has been representing accident victims for over 20 years helping them navigate the sometimes complex legal fight against the insurance carriers.  Remember that when you retain Attorney Rick Molina, you pay nothing upfront and we only collect a percentage of the compensation you receive only when we have won your case.  Don’t go against the insurance carriers alone.  Attorney Rick Molina will aggressively represent you and fight on your behalf.  We have the knowledge, resources, and experience to get you all the compensation for your loss, pain, and suffering.

Frequently asked questions about maritime accidents

Sometimes it is not obvious if your occupation can be considered a Seaman under the Jones Act.  Here are the three main items:

  • Have a substantial connection to a fleet or vessel
  • Be employed on a vessel “in navigation” and
  • Contribute to the vessel’s function or mission

If you are not sure if you fall under these parameters, call or contact us.

Employees that meet the Jones Act seaman criteria can recover damages for current and future medical care, current and future lost wages, pain and suffering, and wrongful death.  It may be complicated and time consuming to navigate cases such as these.  An experienced maritime personal injury lawyer like Rick Molina can help you get the most compensation for your injuries.

Consultation with an attorney is confidential. We will not contact your employer until we both determine that there is a viable case and we need to pursue it. Additionally, if you are told not to contact an attorney or encouraged not to, that should be a red flag to seek consultation. We will protect your privacy and let you know if you have a case. In the event that you do get dismissed from your job because you sought legal counsel, you would have a claim with your employer and recover damages.
