Maritime jobs carry serious risks. If you’ve been injured while working offshore, on a vessel, or at a port in Houma, you may be protected under maritime law. At Ory Law Group, we help injured maritime workers fight for compensation and protect their legal rights.
Who Qualifies for a Maritime Injury Claim
You may be covered under the Jones Act or the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act if you work on or near the water. That includes seamen, deckhands, rig workers, and longshoremen. Our Houma legal team is ready to help you file a claim and recover what you're owed.
What a Maritime Injury Claim Can Cover
Depending on your situation, you may receive payments for medical care, lost wages, long-term treatment, and disability. Some cases may also include compensation for pain and suffering or permanent damage.
Common Maritime Injuries
We handle claims involving slip-and-falls, head trauma, spinal injuries, crush injuries, burns, chemical exposure, and equipment accidents on boats, barges, and offshore platforms.
Financial Recovery for Injured Workers
You may be entitled to maintenance and cure, medical reimbursement, wage replacement, or permanent disability benefits. We make sure all possible damages are considered.

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!

Matt Ory was a beacon of light in helping a member of our family when our options seemed slim. He calmed our fears and addressed all of our concerns with great care. While he was extremely professional throughout the process, he was easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable.
