At VB Attorneys, we’re high-stakes litigators with a history of taking on the toughest cases and winning. From international hostage situations like the Maersk Alabama hijacking (the inspiration behind Captain Phillips) to catastrophic Greyhound bus crashes, we’ve stood beside everyday people when everything was on the line. These are the cases where serious injuries, massive corporations, and complex legal issues collide, and they’re exactly the kind of cases we’re built for.
A Chevron shipping accident is one of those cases.
High-stakes litigation involves legal battles where the outcomes deeply affect people’s lives, physically, financially, and emotionally. These cases often pit individuals against billion-dollar companies and their insurance giants, with millions of dollars and years of recovery on the line. They demand more than legal knowledge; they demand tenacity, resources, and courtroom experience.
That’s why cases involving Chevron’s shipping operations require a law firm with proven success under extreme pressure.
Picture this: You’re a veteran seaman with over a decade of experience. You’re working aboard a Chevron-affiliated tanker, mid-voyage in the Gulf of Mexico. During a night shift, a rusted winch cable snaps, striking you in the back and sending you hard to the deck.
In that moment, everything stops. Pain floods your body. You know something is wrong.
Weeks later, you’re still recovering, but the company isn’t returning your calls. Your medical care is delayed. A “company doctor” tells you it’s probably nothing serious. Then Chevron’s lawyers ask you to sign something, a release, a small payout, a warning not to talk. It’s overwhelming, unfair, and dangerous.
This is where we come in.
Chevron is one of the largest and most powerful companies in the world. After a shipping accident, they activate internal investigators, corporate attorneys, and risk management teams, all to protect themselves. Without experienced legal representation, injured maritime workers can be steamrolled.
At VB Attorneys, we level the playing field. We know maritime law inside and out, from the Jones Act to general maritime doctrines. We know how to preserve evidence, challenge corporate narratives, and calculate the true long-term costs of an injury at sea.
We bring in investigators, medical experts, and vocational specialists to build your case and show Chevron exactly what your future is worth. And if they won’t offer a fair settlement, we take them to court, and win.
If you or someone you care about has been injured in a Chevron shipping accident, don’t assume the company will do the right thing. They won’t. But we will.
VB Attorneys is ready to stand with you, and fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
