Louisiana And Texas Offshore Accident Attorney
Maritime law involves injuries that occur on and around navigable waters.

Maritime law and third party claims
The majority of our cases arise because of a negligent third party such as an employee of an independent contractor aboard a vessel. Third-party liability claims involve the negligence of a party other than your employer. These accidents can involve the various types of manual labor that occur on boats and in offshore work environments. Generally, third-party liability claims involve the “unseaworthiness” of a vessel. Perhaps you were injured in a ship collision or while loading or unloading. The types of injuries vary, and The Law Offices of Sera H. Russell, III, has the ability to handle virtually every type of accident. Please contact us if you or a loved one has been injured in any of the following:
