Maritime Lawyers at Fitts Zehl, L.L.P.
The national offshore injury lawyers at Fitts Zehl, LLP, are trial lawyers who represent workers who were seriously injured while working offshore. Over the past three years alone, our Jones Act lawyers have recovered a substantial amount in verdicts and settlements in hundreds of Jones Act and maritime cases against the largest maritime and oil and gas companies in the world, including BP, Hercules, Nobel, Oceaneering, and Diamond Offshore.
It is because of our success and ability to maximize our clients' recoveries through settlement and trial that workers who were injured in some of the most tragic workplace disasters in recent history, including the the tragic BP Deepwater Horizon Explosion, the BP Texas City Explosion, and the International Paper Explosion, turned to our firm for help.
Our experience fighting some of the largest companies in the world has enabled us to obtain unprecedented results for our clients, both in and out of the courtroom. In December 2011, for example, our lawyers received an $18 million verdict against Greyhound Bus company, the largest verdict ever awarded against the company, after a 3 week trial in Dallas, Texas. Our results in 2010 were not different: we tried 8 cases, and won them all.
Whether it's a case filed in Texas state court or Louisiana federal court, our lawyers prepare every case for trial, devoting whatever resources are necessary to ensuring that our clients are fully compensated for their injuries and damages so that they---and their families---can focus on their futures, without worrying about how they're going to pay for it.
Our lawyers represent injured seamen across the nation.
