Working offshore or around vessels in Raceland can lead to serious injuries. If you were hurt on the job, you may have rights under federal maritime law. At Ory Law Group, we help injured maritime workers in Raceland get the compensation they’re legally owed.
Who Qualifies for a Maritime Injury Claim
If you’re a seaman, dockworker, offshore crew member, or longshoreman injured on or near the water, you may be covered under the Jones Act or the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. We represent maritime workers in Raceland and fight to protect their claims.
What a Maritime Injury Claim Can Cover
A claim may include payment for medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, future treatment, or permanent injury. The amount depends on your job, the type of injury, and your ability to return to work.
Common Maritime Injuries
Injuries we handle include back and neck damage, broken bones, burns, slips, machinery accidents, falls overboard, and repetitive strain injuries caused by long hours and heavy work.
Financial Recovery for Injured Workers
You may qualify for maintenance and cure, lost wage coverage, medical expense reimbursement, and compensation for long-term disability. We pursue every option available under maritime law.

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!
