Legal Help for Mississippi Workers Injured in Maritime Accidents

After years of representing workers injured in maritime accidents across the nation and around the world, we have come to recognize the tactics 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 employment opportunity for the worker and his or her entire family. Maritime work is often a multigenerational career for families in Mississippi.

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 Houston law firm of Stevenson & Murray has built a nationwide reputation for obtaining real results qualified offshore workers, Jones Act seaman or longshoreman injured in an accident on a work vessel operating out of ports in Mississippi and worldwide.
