Leading Maritime Accident and Injury Attorneys in Beaumont, Texas
Were You Injured In An Offshore or Maritime Accident in Beaumont?
At the Hollingsworth Law Firm, our Beaumont maritime accident lawyers have dedicated our practice to producing real results for real people whose lives have been impacted by negligence in ports and waterways throughout Texas.
According to the Comptroller, the Port of Beaumont includes 6,800 linear feet of harbor front with nine deep water berths and access to three class-1 railroads, including BNSF, Union Pacific, and Kansas City Southern. With 550,000 square feet of covered storage, 90 acres of open storage, and a newly constructed 250-acre crude-by-rail terminal equipped to service ships and barges, the net benefit of trade associated with the Beaumont port of entry contributes an estimated 31,000 jobs and a minimum of $4.4 billion in gross domestic product to the state’s economy.
While most employees who work on docks and piers, and offshore on oil rigs, refinery stations, and other important maritime positions make a good living, they are also employed in some of the most dangerous industries in the state.
Our Jefferson County personal injury attorneys know maritime jobs are essential to the state’s economic stability, including the livelihoods of our residents. Since 2003, we have helped protect their rights after injuries have disrupted their abilities to work, and make a living.
Our maritime and offshore attorneys are well-versed in all laws that protect workers in case of an injury or the loss of their loved ones, including the Jones Act, which protects eligible American workers who are injured at sea.
Our skilled legal staff offers services in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin because we believe in inclusion, fairness, and justice. It is only possible to successfully represent the people in our communities when we can successfully represent all people.

Steven and I attended law school together and I have known him since 2000. He was stellar in representing a close friend with a personal injury matter. I have been very impressed with his communication, dedication and thoroughness in representation.
Steve is the real deal! He is an extremely invaluable resource on all things Litigation for me as a younger attorney. He is not only great a securing the bigger verdicts, but actually cares about the clients and still sticks by his tried and true method of meeting, in person, with his clients to go over facts . overall, a solid attorney, with a wealth of knowledge!
After working with Steve for a couple of years, I found Steve to be an outstanding, aggressive and highly skilled lawyer in the courtroom. His confidence and knowledge of the courtroom and what it takes to succeed there, I believe will ensure his long term prosperity.
I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
