Practice Areas Description

Gordon, Elias & Seely, L.L.P. represents injured maritime workers and Jones Act cases:

- Jones Act

Maritime workers who are injured in the course and scope of their work aboard a floating vessel are protected under a federal law known as the Jones Act. Whether you are a deckhand or the captain of a vessel, this protection grants you legal recourse to recover compensation when you suffer accidental injury through the negligence of another. At the office of Gordon, Elias & Seely, L.L.P., our maritime law attorneys have decades of experience working with clients who have suffered offshore injuries, or other injuries covered by the Jones Act and similar laws. We understand the hard work and difficult conditions seamen endure. When you have been injured in a work related accident, our attorneys go to work to protect your rights and recover the compensation you and your family need.

- Offshore and Marine Vessel Injuries

At the law office of Gordon, Elias & Seely, L.L.P., we meet people every day who are proud of their work and their career. Our clients did not seek injury, and never wanted to be in a position where they are facing financial struggles and physical challenges. For a worker injured at sea, there can be a lot of questions about how an injury will affect your ability to do your job and provide for yourself and your family. Our team of admiralty and maritime law attorneys has decades of combined experience litigating on behalf of injured workers. Our lawyers are able to represent clients across the nation, including crab fishermen in the frozen waters of Alaska, tugboat workers in the rivers of Ohio, crew boat seamen along the Gulf Coast of Texas or Louisiana and workers on vessels throughout the Great Lakes.

- Ship Owner Negligence and Faulty Equipment

At Gordon, Elias & Seely, L.L.P., our lawyers have handled all types of injuries resulting from faulty equipment. When a piece of equipment breaks or is in some way a cause of the accident, the law calls that an unseaworthy condition. Specifically, the equipment is unseaworthy if it is not fit for its intended purpose. Not by way of limitation, but equipment that has been involved in some cases under are cranes, personnel baskets, transfer baskets, ladders, berths, bunks, crane, ropes, taglines, lines, radars, radios, valves, cables, decks, EPIRBs, winches, pulleys, ratchets, vests, gunnels, transoms, rigging, drilling fluids, pipes, lights, flashlights, hatches, anchors, hulls and list goes on and on.
