Louisiana’s Top Maritime Focused Law Firm

The Young Firm is rooted in Louisiana and limits our practice to Jones Act and maritime claims specific to workers injured on, or near, the water. For two generations, we’ve provided support and clarity to hard-working people injured on vessels, barges, tug boats, oil rigs, docks, and everything in between, so they can get their life back on track.

Our Clients Suggest You Get Local, Focused Maritime Support

When your life is turned upside down from an injury, you need representation from attorneys with extensive maritime experience. In Louisiana, we see many law firms advertise for maritime cases, but it’s not their main focus. By limiting our focus to only maritime cases we’ve become ingrained in your industry and we understand your specific struggles. This allows us to uniquely serve you when you need it most. We offer: 

	A strong local network. We live here, we work here, we are a part of the community and our mission is supporting Louisiana maritime workers. It’s all we do.
	Expert medical guidance. Firms that lack experience may leave medical care up to you. Not us. We help you find expert, unbiased doctors who will properly determine the full extent of your injuries and provide treatment guidance. This is crucial to determining compensation and protecting your health and future.
	A devoted support team. Our office support team and attorneys only deal with injured maritime workers. We have a deep understanding of the unique circumstances and challenges you are up against and we are prepared to support you every step of the way. You are never alone when you are with The Young Firm.
	Experience with high-dollar settlements. You need a team with experience obtaining fair and accurate compensation for your case. Many general personal injury cases are quick low-dollar settlements that don’t align with the depth and scope of maritime injury cases. You need a lawyer who has gone through the process and will maximize your recovery, including compensation that will allow you to secure you and your family’s future.
