Experienced and Aggressive Texas Maritime, Offshore Injury Lawyer.
The Texas coast and Gulf of Mexico encompass a maritime industry center made up of large and small companies that contribute a great deal to our economy. Unfortunately, the nature of the work comes with some inherent risks
If you have been injured in a maritime or offshore accident and are overwhelmed with lost wages and medical bills, not to mention emotional and physical pain, you need aggressive legal representation to protect your rights and keep the big companies from taking advantage of you. Our offshore injury lawyer at Gomez Law Firm will pursue your case with precision to get the maximum compensation you need now and in the future.
Although maritime laws are set up to protect victims, the sad truth is that the insurance companies do what they can to avoid payment. With more than 20 years’ experience litigating thousands of cases in Texas, more than 70 jury trials, and experience arguing before the Supreme Court of Texas, Jorge L. Gomez and his legal team will advocate on your behalf to prevent the big companies and their insurance company representatives from taking advantage of you and your loved ones.
The Complexities of Maritime Law
Gomez Law Firm knows which maritime laws will work in your favor.
Do not be pressured into settling and refusing legal representation in your offshore injury case. It is not only your right, but it is the best route for pursuing the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
The most important consideration in pursuing an offshore injury case is gathering and documenting facts, identifying false statements given by those liable, and understanding the various maritime laws that can work in your favor. For example, under the Jones Act, seamen are in a good position to file a claim for compensation. This law is more favorable to maritime workers than most laws are for other workers.
Attorney Jorge L. Gomez is recognized by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction that less than 3% of attorneys in Texas have earned. He and his team know the complicated maritime legal system and will leave no stone unturned while putting your interests first and helping you focus on getting your life back on track while your case moves forward.

Gomez and his legal team stand ready to meet with you in person to review your case, determine the best legal options, and guide you in making the right decisions on how to proceed.
