The company was playing pretty rough with me, but George was able to get them to provide my medical care and got me a large settlement. If you work on boats, like I do, I recommend George Vourvoulias if you are looking for a lawyer who knows maritime law.

Injured Offshore?
Getting hurt in an offshore accident can sometimes result in a one-way ticket home—without the benefits you’re entitled to.
Maritime work can be dangerous and even deadly, but that doesn’t mean boat owners always take care of injured workers.
Your life might be falling apart right in front of your eyes, with no way to support your family and no end in sight.
Chances are, the boat owner now considers you “damaged goods” and has given you “the one-way ticket home.” You wait at home for the call about the next job that never comes.
That’s where I come in.
I have dedicated the past 20 years to fighting for the rights of offshore workers — and have a deep understanding of the specific challenges you’re facing:
- The pressures placed upon crewmembers
- The “company doctors’ assessments” that try to downplay those injuries or illnesses as an effort to undercut what you are owed
- The insurance adjusters and employers who will try to trick you into taking a lowball settlement
And I know how to level the playing field.
