Maritime work in Morgan City comes with real danger. If you’ve been injured while working on a vessel, rig, or dock, you may be covered under federal maritime law. At Ory Law Group, we help injured maritime workers in Morgan City take legal steps to recover the compensation they deserve.
Who Qualifies for a Maritime Injury Claim
You may qualify under the Jones Act or Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act if you work on or near the water. That includes crew members, deckhands, longshoremen, and offshore workers. If the injury happened while doing your job in Morgan City, we can help you file the right claim.
What a Maritime Injury Claim Can Cover
A maritime injury claim may include compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, disability, and pain and suffering. We also handle claims involving long-term or permanent injuries that prevent you from returning to work.
Common Maritime Injuries
We handle injuries like broken bones, back and neck problems, head injuries, burns, falls, and machinery-related trauma. These often result from unsafe work environments or failed equipment.
Financial Recovery for Injured Workers
You may be entitled to maintenance and cure, coverage for medical expenses, temporary or permanent disability payments, and compensation for long-term care. We’ll work to recover everything the law allows.

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!
