Maritime work is risky, and when someone gets hurt on the job—whether on a vessel, dock, or offshore rig—they may be entitled to compensation under maritime law. At Ory Law Group, we represent injured maritime workers in Bayou Cane and nearby areas, helping them pursue the full recovery they deserve.
Who Qualifies for a Maritime Injury Claim
Seamen, longshoremen, and offshore workers are protected under federal maritime laws like the Jones Act and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. If you’ve been injured while working on or near the water in Bayou Cane, you may be eligible to file a claim. Our legal team will guide you through the process step by step.
What a Maritime Injury Claim Can Cover
You may be able to recover payment for medical bills, lost income, disability, and long-term care. In some cases, you could also receive compensation for pain, suffering, and future wage loss.
Common Maritime Injuries
We handle cases involving back and neck injuries, broken bones, head trauma, falls overboard, machinery accidents, chemical exposure, and repetitive stress injuries from long shifts at sea.

Got in touch with Matt regarding a scary situation that happened over the weekend. My wife and I were unsure how to proceed and unsure of the next steps. He responded almost immediately, put our fears at ease, and assured us that he was there to help should anything transpire further. Matt was extremely informative, caring, and honest while at the same time serious, professional, and 100% on top of his game. We are extremely grateful!

Matt’s outstanding hard work, confidence, and representation speak for themselves from the first moment you step foot in his office until the very last court hearing. His passion and drive make you feel as though there’s an entire army behind you. Thank you, Matt, from the bottom of my heart, for being so savage. If you need a total beast in your corner, call Matt Ory!
