Alabama Offshore Injury Lawyer

Maritime Injury and Jones Act Attorneys for Injured Seamen

Involving an Alabama offshore injury lawyer is one of the most important steps you can take following an offshore accident or maritime injury of any kind. You may be entitled to benefits for medical care, living expenses and lost wages, but without legal representation your ability to recover these benefits may be limited. Involving an attorney with the experience and dedication to fight for your rights will give you the best opportunity of receiving maximum financial compensation.

Results count. At Arnold & Itkin LLP, we have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for the injured. Whether through negotiated settlements or jury awards, our offshore injury attorneys have secured outstanding results time and time again for all types of Jones Act and other maritime injury claims. We represent Alabama maritime workers with compassion, professionalism and an unwavering commitment to seek the highest amount of compensation possible. Our team is very familiar with cases involving accidents occurring at and between such ports in the state as the Port of Mobile, Port of Bridgeport, Port of Montgomery and Port of Tuscaloosa.

In addition to handling claims for accidents that occur off the shores of Alabama, on inland waterways in the state or along the Gulf Coast, we also represent residents of Alabama who have been injured in foreign waters. To provide for your family, you may have had to take a maritime or rig job overseas, and this can present a number of difficulties if you are injured. We are skilled in handling all types of offshore injury claims for injured seamen, including those that occur in foreign waters. We welcome you to call an Alabama maritime injury attorney at our firm to learn more.

Experience with Alabama Offshore Injury Claims

Our legal team is committed to helping offshore workers and their families recover monetary benefits for injuries and wrongful deaths occurring on tankers, barges, crew boats, oil platforms, jack-up rigs and spars. We know how to handle claims under the Jones Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and other relevant maritime laws. We don't back down when we have to go head to head with the largest oil companies in the world. We are not afraid of facing off against the biggest insurance providers. At times, it may seem that these large corporations are only concerned about making a profit. We fight for injured seamen's rights in the face of any adversary, no matter how powerful they may seem.

Maritime workers may face various hazards on the job. Particularly in the face of negligence or while working on an unseaworthy vessel, they may sustain serious spine injuries, back injuries or head injuries. They may experience severe burns or electrocution as the result of equipment failure or the carelessness of another worker. In addition to causing extreme physical pain and leading to overwhelming medical bills, offshore injuries may threaten the injured seaman's ability to provide for his family.

Seeking maximum compensation with a maritime injury claim is therefore of the utmost importance. Instead of attempting to handle this complex matter on your own, involve an Alabama offshore injury attorney who can actually assist you in recovering a far greater settlement or jury award than you would have been able to recover without legal counsel. Because we work on a contingent fee basis, you pay no legal fees unless we win your case. There is no risk and no obligation when you call our office for a free consultation.
