Maritime Accidents in Mississippi & Alabama

Legal Help for Injured Maritime Workers

Foxworth ∙ Jackson ∙ Hattiesburg ∙ Mobile ∙ Huntsville

In years of working with injured maritime workers nationwide and across the world, we have come to recognize the tactics that major petrochemical companies use to recruit workers from rural areas.

Oil and gas companies rely on workers that come from communities where a job on a drilling platform, jack up rig, semi submersible or drill boat represents the best available job opportunity for the worker and his or her entire family. Maritime work is often a multigenerational career for families in Mississippi and Alabama.

The drilling and exploration companies talk about loyalty. The corporate representatives say they will take care of you and your family if something happens. But if you are looking for an attorney to help you after a serious maritime accident injury, you already know that sometimes these promises are empty.

The law firm of Stevenson & Murray in Houston, Texas, has built a nationwide reputation for obtaining real results for any qualified offshore worker, Jones Act seaman or longshoreman injured in an accident on a work vessel operating out of ports in Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and worldwide. We invite you to contact us today for a free consultation to learn more about your legal rights and options for getting the money you need after a serious maritime accident.

Do You Have a Case?

A lot depends on the specific circumstances of your employment and how you were injured. Maritime and admiralty law is a complex area of practice. Many personal injury lawyers simply do not have the experience or detailed legal knowledge to answer this question.

That is why Stevenson & Murray offers free consultations to maritime accident and deckhand injury victims in Mississippi, Alabama and across the world. The firm is dedicated to standing up for the victims of negligence and helping them exercise their right to seek full financial recovery.

During your initial case evaluation, you will have an opportunity to work one-on-one with a highly knowledgeable and attentive lawyer who can offer you practical legal advice and honest answers based on years of experience in the field.
