Maritime Law - Shrimp Boats

Shrimping is a demanding job and along with the hard work comes a degree of risk. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, maimed, or lost while working on a shrimp boat, it is important for your family to receive counsel from the Texas maritime lawyer. Simmons and Fletcher have long been committed to achieving justice for those involved in sea injury cases.

We understand the dangers and consequences involved aboard shrimp boats: limbs can become tangled and amputated in nets, crewmen can be lost overboard, or sometimes owners are more focused on profit than the safety of the crew. Negligence can be proven if weather advisories are ignored and the shrimping crew is put in danger.

Simmons and Fletcher is dedicated to providing sound legal advice and vigorous representation based on ethical Christian values. Our experienced maritime lawyers hold a comprehensive knowledge of the Jones Act and other maritime laws.
