Maritime lawyers in our law firm will work to help you get the medical attention, counseling, and financial compensation you need to recover from a devastating injury or the wrongful death of a loved one. Attorneys in our firm have taken more cases to trial in the last two years than many attorneys will try in a lifetime. Building on experience gained at prestigious law firms, the Texas Office of the Attorney General, and by successfully trying cases in federal and state courtrooms, our attorneys have honed their skills as aggressive trial lawyers.

We're passionate about helping our clients and we dedicate ourselves to achieving success in the courtroom. Our personal injury attorneys prepare every case to go to trial because we believe that our clients will recover maximum compensation only when those responsible are standing on the steps of the courthouse.

Maritime lawyers at Arnold & Itkin LLP represent injured workers and their families in serious injury and wrongful death claims governed by the Jones Act and other maritime laws. With extensive experience suing oil and gas companies, shipping companies, and their insurance providers, our lawyers are ready, willing, and more than able to face them in court.

If a member of your family has been seriously injured or killed as a result of a maritime accident or offshore injury, it is extremely important that you get sound legal advice before you contact your employer or their insurance company. If you would like to speak with one of our maritime attorneys, please contact our Houston office for a free consultation.

The maritime lawyers at Arnold & Itkin LLP are dedicated to helping injured offshore workers, crew members, officers, stevedores, maritime workers, and their families obtain the compensation they deserve. Our knowledge of admiralty and maritime law combined with our commitment to our clients makes for a winning combination.
