Just because your vessel injury occurred in or near Alabama or the company office is located there does not mean you should automatically settle for an attorney inside the state. You may want to consider contacting an experienced offshore firm elsewhere on the Gulf Coast.
For example, Houston, as the second largest port by tonnage in the U.S., has judges that are some of the most experienced in hearing Jones Act cases.
Houston attorney Brian Beckcom of Vujacinovic and Beckcom PLCC supports cases being heard in Harris County, Texas because "the courts (here) have great experience in sorting through complex offshore law."
Moreover, the Houston area has some of the most highly respected offshore attorneys and maritime industry experts that will help you get justice more effectively than anywhere else.
While Alabama does have its share of fine attorneys, the relatively limited coastal area and offshore case filings just do not compare with the length of the Texas shoreline and the volume of Jones Act cases heard in Houston.
