Common Maritime Accident Injuries

Maritime accidents in Louisiana, Colorado, and Florida can result in devastating, life-altering injuries. Working on or near water—whether on offshore rigs, commercial vessels, or shipping docks—presents unique hazards that can cause far more severe harm than typical workplace accidents. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling serious maritime injury claims and fighting for the full compensation injured workers and their families deserve.

Injuries we frequently see from maritime accidents include:

  • Burns and chemical exposure injuries

  • Broken bones and crush injuries

  • Spinal cord and back trauma

  • Traumatic brain injuries (including CTE)

  • Joint, ligament, and muscle damage

  • Drowning or near-drowning injuries

  • Eye and hearing loss

  • Internal organ damage

  • Severe burns from fuel or equipment fires

  • Amputations and loss of limbs

  • Paralysis and quadriplegia

  • Chronic pain conditions

  • Permanent scarring or disability

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Emotional pain and suffering from lasting effects

At Godbey Giardina Law Group, we understand the catastrophic impact a maritime accident can have on your health, your family, and your livelihood. No matter the severity of the injury, our team is ready to stand up to vessel operators, maritime companies, and insurers to fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.

How Godbey Giardina Law Group Handles Maritime Injury Claims in Louisiana, Florida, and Colorado

At Godbey Giardina Law Group, we represent victims of maritime accidents across Louisiana, Florida, and Colorado. These cases are often more complex than typical workplace or personal injury claims because they involve vessel operators, federal maritime regulations, and aggressive insurance carriers. Our mission is simple: handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on recovery.

We start with a free consultation to evaluate your claim and outline your legal options. If you choose to proceed, our team immediately begins by:

  • Investigating the accident scene and gathering critical evidence

  • Reviewing vessel logs, maintenance records, and safety documentation

  • Collecting police, Coast Guard, and medical reports

  • Interviewing witnesses and working with maritime accident experts

  • Identifying all responsible parties—including vessel operators, employers, and insurers

  • Negotiating directly with insurers to pursue maximum compensation

  • Preparing your case for trial if necessary

Maritime injury claims often take longer to resolve than standard personal injury cases due to the complexity of maritime law and the number of parties involved. Our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to court if that’s what it takes to secure justice and fair compensation.

Whether your accident occurred on Louisiana’s waterways, Florida’s busy ports and offshore areas, or Colorado’s rivers and inland maritime sites, our experienced team understands the unique challenges of handling maritime cases in each state.

You focus on healing. We’ll take on the vessel operators and insurers.
