Maritime workers in Franklin face real risks every day. If you were injured offshore, on a vessel, or while working near the water, you may be protected under federal maritime law. At Ory Law Group, we represent injured workers in Franklin and help them recover the compensation they’re owed.
Who Qualifies for a Maritime Injury Claim
If you’re a seaman, offshore worker, dockworker, or harbor employee, you may qualify for compensation under the Jones Act or the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. If you were injured while working in or near Franklin, we’ll help you file the proper claim.
What a Maritime Injury Claim Can Cover
You may be entitled to money for medical bills, missed wages, long-term care, disability, and more. Some cases also allow for pain and suffering damages, depending on how the injury happened.
Common Maritime Injuries
We represent clients with back injuries, head trauma, broken bones, burns, falls, equipment-related injuries, and exposure to hazardous substances. These injuries often come from unsafe conditions and long hours on the job.

Compensation may include medical bills, maintenance and cure, pain and suffering, and long-term disability benefits depending on the injury and policy involved.

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!
