Your sincere and satisfied client,

Steve T.

Houston, Texas
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.

Will your maritime helicopter crash lawyer handle your case personally?

One good question to ask your maritime helicopter accident lawyer is, "Will you handle the case personally?"

You want to make sure that your lawyer is updated on all aspects of your case at any given time. If they are the ones handling your case, instead of just a paralegal, they will be aware of any problems that may arise, questions that you may have, or your treatment status. It is important that you find an attorney who returns phone calls promptly, encourages open communication on your case, and regularly gives you updates on what is going on.

What law applies to the case? A good lawyer for your helicopter case will be able to tell you what laws your case falls under, when the statute of limitations is to expire, and what your rights are.

If you or someone you know has suffered injury in a maritime accident while on the job, contact maritime injury attorney Brian Beckcom immediately at 877.724.7800.
