I was hurt on a boat offshore. Brian and
his law firm worked hard on my case. The settlement he got for me will
take care of my financial needs for the rest of my life. If you are
looking for someone to take your interests at heart Brian and his law
firm can give you the attention your case deserves.

Tim M.

Austin,
Texas
There are only a small number of attorneys who could handle such a complex case as mine, and Brian was at the top of the list. His response time is unsurpassed, replying within minutes to my initial enquiry. He has an instinctive understanding of the legal issues, and consummate people skills, an essential attribute in the negotiation phase of any litigation. Thanks to Brian the case was settled favorably within a year.

Steven S.,

Wales, U.K.
Brian, your book was a real eye-opener. If I had read your book sooner, I would have avoided a lot of costly mistakes.

Captain Jim Vickers
I was hurt on an offshore oil rig. I was unable to work or get proper medical care from the company. I was referred to Brian by another law firm because that firm knew Brian specialized in Jones Act cases. Brian settled my case in less than 12 months. The settlement will enable me to take care of my family financially for a long time. I would highly recommend Brian and his firm to any injured worker.

Have You Suffered a Herniated Disc While Working Offshore?

Perhaps you are experiencing severe pain, numbness or weakness in the back area. This pain could be caused by a herniated disc, which many seamen and other maritime workers suffer as a result from working offshore.

A major problem from a herniated disc, aside from the excruciating pain, is the effect it can have on almost every aspect of your daily life. It can affect your ability to do your job as well as impact everyday tasks, from holding your kids to taking out the trash to driving a car.

A herniated disc can be caused from just about any regular mundane activity on the job that causes wear and tear on the disc. Many offshore workers are injured by falling while onboard a ship or a platform. This type of maritime accident can severely injure the back.

Regardless of the cause, a herniated disc can be very painful and can impact you in profound ways. You should note that there are options available to treat a herniated disc, including surgery. If you are experiencing back pain as a result of your job, you should seek medical advice immediately. You should also be aware that you have rights.

If you or someone you know has been injured while working offshore, you should contact an experienced maritime accident attorney at the Law Offices of Vujasinovic & Beckcom P.L.L.C. at (713) 224-7800 or (877) 724-7800.
