The Galveston – Houston area represents one of the nation’s major shipping hubs. Our Galveston maritime lawyers see a huge amount of shipping cargo move in and out of our Ports each day. The sheer quantity of shipping cargo and the tendency of shippers to under-declare shipping weights create many opportunities for dangerous Galveston cargo accidents to occur.
Galveston maritime lawyers remind you that cargo accidents can cause catastrophic injuries or fatalities among ships’ crewmembers, dockworkers, and others who happen to be in the vicinity of heavy cargo. Recovering just financial compensation for the resulting harm is a critical element in helping victims and their families to cope with the trauma of these serious cargo accidents.
These dangerous and deadly cargo accidents might happen for several reasons.
If the cargo accident is due to another person’s negligence, you might be eligible to make a fair financial recovery for your expenses and losses from the accident.
