Maritime Attorney
Offshore labor has always been hazardous, but it’s more dangerous than ever as employees of oil companies and shipping companies are expected to take greater risks under tighter deadlines. To give legal protection to offshore workers, Congress passed the Jones Act, originally referred to as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. The Jones Act covers traditional seafaring activities and can also cover related laborers such as offshore oil workers. Sometimes seafaring employees are injured or even killed because of the negligence of ship owners, captains, fellow employees or oil companies. The Jones Act allows those employees who were harmed to receive compensation for damages incurred.
But to receive compensation under the Jones Act, you need a lawyer who understands the provisions of the law and how to most effectively demonstrate that you have been harmed due to the negligence of others. Glenn Douglas is the maritime law attorney you need. Practicing since 1985, Glenn Douglas has the experience and track record to help you get the compensation you deserve.

If you or someone you love has been injured in an offshore accident, you need to take immediate advantage of the rights afforded by maritime law.

You may now or soon be facing expensive medical treatments, ongoing rehabilitation, lost wages and reduced earning potential. Glenn Douglas will ensure that your legal rights are upheld under maritime law and will personally review the merits of your case as your maritime lawyer in Houston.
