Affording an Offshore Injury Lawyer

My son is a Texas offshore oil worker who suffered a brain injury after being hit in the head by a pipe that broke loose from a weld. His family wants to bring a lawsuit but they say they can't afford a lawyer. Can they get legal help if they do not have any money?

​At Arnold & Itkin LLP, we often structure fee agreements on a contingency basis, which means you won't have to pay for your representation unless you are awarded some money. We believe this fee arrangement shares the financial risks with our clients and demonstrates our commitment to their cases.

Bringing a maritime law claim under the Jones Act or other maritime law provisions requires the expertise of a skilled and experienced Texas offshore injury attorney. At Arnold & Itkin, LLP, we will review the status of the worker and the vessel at the time of injury, the vessel's seaworthiness and the time frame in which the claim must be filed. Our attorneys will ensure that the seaman's rights and interests are protected in settlement negotiations and in the courtroom if a trial becomes necessary.

We handle maritime accident claims in Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, Port Arthur and port cities throughout Texas. To learn more, contact a Texas offshore injury lawyer at our offices.
