International Maritime Injuries

Overseas Maritime Work Injury Attorneys

The international maritime injury attorneys of Doyle Raizner in Houston, Texas, represent injured seamen and other maritime workers all over the world, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of Alaska, from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific, from Africa to the Middle East.

We are especially well known for representing expatriates working on oil and gas rigs, gathering platforms, and supply boats. Our international maritime injury lawyers, however, represent all types of maritime workers, from those manning push boats, tugboats, and towboats on inland waterways to crew members on Hawaiian, European, Caribbean, and other cruise ships.

Making the Foreign Familiar

Maritime work attracts people from around the globe because of its relatively high wages. But danger is part of the job description for every maritime worker. Falls, explosions, burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and crushing injuries are, sadly, not uncommon.

Those injured at sea are protected by the Jones Act and general maritime law. If you are a seaman, crewman, or other maritime worker who has been injured at sea, you may be entitled to maintenance and cure (medical care) as well as compensation for lost past and future wages and for pain and suffering.

Effective Trial Lawyers

Our law firm has brought hundreds of international maritime injury claims to successful resolution through negotiation and litigation. We are not hesitant to take a case to trial. Led by Attorneys Michael Doyle who is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and Jeff Raizner, all of our international maritime injury attorneys are respected for their courtroom abilities and successes on behalf of our clients.

If you have been injured aboard any type of work vessel, you can rely on our skilled maritime law attorneys for effective legal representation. To discuss the details of your case, please contact Doyle Raizner today.
