Maritime jobs are dangerous. If you’ve been hurt while working on a vessel, dock, or offshore site, you may have rights under federal maritime law. At Ory Law Group, we help injured maritime workers in Thibodaux take legal action and recover the compensation they’re owed.
Who Qualifies for a Maritime Injury Claim
Workers covered under the Jones Act or the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act may qualify for legal and financial support after an injury. This includes seamen, deckhands, harbor workers, and offshore crew. If your injury happened on or near the water in Thibodaux, we can help you file a claim.
What a Maritime Injury Claim Can Cover
You may be eligible for payment covering medical bills, missed work, future treatment, disability, or long-term care. In serious cases, you might also recover for pain and suffering or permanent injury.
Common Maritime Injuries
Our firm handles cases involving traumatic injuries, back problems, broken limbs, burns, chemical exposure, falls, equipment failure, and head injuries caused by unsafe work conditions.
Financial Recovery for Injured Workers
You may qualify for compensation that includes maintenance and cure, medical costs, lost income, and payments for lasting disability. We work to make sure every eligible benefit is pursued.

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!
