Aggressive, Experienced and Dedicated Maritime Trial Lawyers
Fitts Zehl is one of the Only Law Firms in the Gulf Coast that has Successfully Represented Hundreds of Workers Injured in 3 of the Largest Workplace Explosions Since 2005.
The lawyers at Fitts Zehl have earned a national reputation for successfully representing workers injured in offshore and refinery accidents, including over 120 of the workers who were injured during the BP Texas City explosion in 2005.
It is because of this reputation that Fitts Zehl was one of the first law firms hired to represent several of the workers injured during the Deepwater Horizon Explosion.
Because our law firm and Transocean are both based in Houston, Texas, we are able to file these lawsuits in Houston or Galveston State Court, where we regularly file cases and represent workers injured offshore and in refinery explosions.
- Since 2005, our lawyers have recovered over $150 million in settlements and verdicts, and were able to compel BP—the company that was leasing the Deepwater Horizon at the time of the explosion— to settle over 75 cases after presenting our opening arguments and witnesses at trial.
- In just the past 12 months, our explosion lawyers have successfully resolved claims on behalf of workers who suffered physical injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of the Imperial Sugar Refinery Explosion in Savannah, Georgia, and the International Paper Explosion in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
What you can Expect from the Offshore Explosion Lawyers at Fitts Zehl
Our main goal, as trial attorneys, is to ensure that our clients are able to focus on their futures without having to worry about how they are going to pay for it. We do this by winning.
Because we work exclusively on a contingent fee basis, you will pay no fee or out of pocket expenses unless we win your case and recover damages.
We will also assist you and your family with any medical expenses and necessary cost of living expenses while your case is pending so that you can focus on recovering.
Here’s what one of our Clients who was Injured during the 2008 International Paper Explosion said about our Firm:
“When I was burned and emotionally damaged for life, I didn't know who to turn to. Fitts Zehl took my case, eased my worries, and helped me receive a substantial settlement. They were not afraid to take on a corporate giant. The lawyers at Fitts Zehl were hardworking, dedicated, and professional throughout the case. I was so lucky to have found them and feel confident knowing that if I am ever in a legal situation again, I know exactly who to turn to. I have already recommended them to my own family and friends.”
