Talk to a Maritime Injury Lawyer Who Fights for Offshore Workers Free, Confidential Consultation
If you were hurt on a vessel, rig, barge, or boat, the Jones Act and maritime law give you rights that ordinary workers don’t have. The boat owner and their insurance company already know that. The question is whether you’ll have someone in your corner who knows it too.
No upfront cost. You pay nothing unless we win your case.
“George represented me when I got injured working on a tow boat. 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’re looking for a lawyer who knows maritime law.”
Maritime work is some of the most dangerous work there is. When you get hurt, the company should take care of you. Too often, that’s not what happens.
Instead, you get sent home. The calls about the next job stop coming. The company doctor downplays your injury. An adjuster you’ve never met offers you a check that won’t begin to cover what you’ve lost and pressures you to sign before you’ve talked to anyone.
Meanwhile, your bills don’t stop. Your family is counting on you. And you’re left wondering how something that wasn’t your fault became your problem to carry alone.
That’s where we come in.
For more than 20 years, we’ve fought for injured offshore workers and only injured offshore workers. We know exactly how these companies operate, and we know how to make them answer for it.
If you were hurt on the water, we want to hear from you. We represent crewmembers injured on:
And we handle the full range of serious maritime injuries — back and spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, burns, crane accidents, falls overboard, and wrongful death claims when a family loses someone they love.
No matter what kind of vessel you worked on or how the accident happened, the first step is the same: a free conversation about your rights.
Maritime law is its own world. The deadlines are different, the rules are different, and the companies on the other side have spent decades learning how to pay injured workers as little as possible. Not every lawyer understands that. We do — it’s all we do.
We know the pressure crews are under. We know the “company doctor” playbook. We know the tricks adjusters use to make a lowball offer sound like a lifeline. And we know how to level the playing field and go after real, life-changing results for our clients.

"I was working on the Mississippi River as a deckhand when we were collided with by an upbound vessel pushing 40 barges. I was the only survivor. I hired George Vourvoulias and he went to work right away. He listened to my story and came up with a plan on how to deal with the insurance companies and the big boat owners. If you need a maritime injury lawyer who knows his stuff, call George Vourvoulias. He'll protect you and your family and make sure you're taken care of when things go wrong."
Every day that passes, evidence disappears and deadlines get closer. Before you talk to the company, the adjuster, or the company doctor again — talk to us. It’s free, it’s confidential, and it could be the most important call you make.
