#1 Largest Maritime Win in Texas
Our Undefeated Texas Maritime Accident Lawyers recovered the #1 largest maritime accident settlement in Texas on behalf of a seriously injured offshore worker whose life was forever changed by a preventable offshore accident.
Our client was working as a floorhand for one of the largest maritime companies in the United States when he was ordered to perform an unsafe task involving the vessel’s moonpool operations. During the operation, he suffered a traumatic brain injury that threatened not only his his health, well-being, and ability to work, but also his family’s future.
Our attorneys launched an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident, including the actions of the crew members involved and the responsibility of the vessel owner. We knew that uncovering the full story required going far beyond the initial account of what happened.
Through dozens of depositions and extensive discovery, our team uncovered critical evidence showing that the negligence of our client’s co-workers contributed to the accident.
Rather than allowing our client to be blamed for an accident, our attorneys followed the evidence to determine what happened, how it should and could have been prevented, and who should be held accountable.
With trial approaching, our attorneys were ready to take the case to a jury and hold the responsible parties fully accountable.
Rather than face our undefeated maritime attorneys in the courtroom, the defendants had no choice but to agree to a record-setting $16 million settlement shortly before trial.
