Thank you for all you've done for me in regards to my case.

Sincerely

-Raymond S.

Seafood Worker
Deltona, Florida
I would like to thank Brian Beckcom and his staff for their professionalism and their support. . . I knew when I met Brian that he was more than qualified to handle my father's wrongful death case . . .if I needed his help again I wouldn't hesitate to call.

Houston, Texas
Just when we thought we would never find someone who would listen to our story, V&B opened their doors to us. For one month, I spoke to 25 lawyers and the answer I received was "your case is a lost case, no one will ever represent you."

Brian, I recommend your maritime book highly. I also happily recommend you, personally.

I sat on one of your juries early this year. I observed your eloquence and complete passion....you seem to be a man of utmost qualifications.

- Juror on one of Vuk's cases (name withheld)
Vuk, it has been such a wonderful experience working with you and your staff. Thank you so much for all the hard work that you did to help my family and I survive through the most difficult time of our lives.

Phuong N.
Houston, Texas
I was injured in an auto accident in Houston, and was referred to Vuk by another attorney. I couldn't work as a result of the accident and desperately needed back and knee surgery.. . . Vuk was able to get me a generous settlement within about a year of taking my case.

Steven R.
Deer Park, Texas
After my two-year old son was killed by an 18-wheeler driver and me and my daughter were badly injured, we hired Brian and Vuk to represent us on the recommendation of another lawyer.

This was the hardest time in our lives and it was great knowing we had you there to represent us.

Justin and Sonya H., Splendora, Texas

Maritime workers and offshore accidents = physical and mental injuries

There are so many ways that maritime workers can be injured after an offshore accident: falls, trips, collisions, explosions, faulty equipment, and much more. There are also a number of different types of injuries that workers can suffer – but not all are physical.

After a serious accident, some maritime workers can have difficulty recovering mentally from the trauma. They can experience what many accident victims know as “post-traumatic stress disorder”. PTSD can be debilitating for some injured workers, preventing them from leading normal, healthy lives even long after an accident has passed.

We have information about a wide variety of other injuries that maritime workers can face in our law library. Please check out these articles for more information:

Don’t suffer alone after a serious maritime accident. You deserve fair compensation and justice for your injuries, and you to be able to take care of yourself as well. Help is available from the experienced lawyers at the Houston based law firm Vujasinovic & Beckcom.
