Maritime Law - Tankers

Work aboard an oil tanker or a lightering vessel can be demanding and dangerous work; if you or loved one has suffered serious injury or wrongful death aboard one of these vessels contact Simmons and Fletcher. Simmons and Fletcher retain experienced and savvy maritime injury lawyers on the Gulf Coast. It is our commitment to bring you and your family just compensation for your injuries through ethical and expert maritime legal practices.

Life aboard a tanker can be tough, exciting work, but it can also be perilous. Transportation in a basket from one vessel to another in uncertain seas may result in falls overboard or a hard fall onto the deck. Once a lightering vessel is loaded, the height difference between the two ships creates a hazardous environment for mooring masters and assistant mooring masters. Crushing incidents can occur. It is important for you and your family to obtain the qualified maritime legal representation you deserve.

Simmons and Fletcher bring Christian values and Texas maritime lawyers to the table for you. We have experience with Jones Act cases and we are dedicated to bring your family the justice and compensation they deserve. We are also versed in other sea injury cases:

• Drilling or jack up rigs
• Barges
• Tug boats
• Cruise ships
• River boats
• Shrimp boats
• Drill ships
