Since 1963, Eaves Law Firm has been a leader in handling offshore cases. We take pride in being your local, at-home firm while maintaining the ability to work relentlessly on cases across the globe.
In 1989, a devastating typhoon struck an oil drilling ship in the waters of Thailand, causing the vessel to sink. The international company that owned the ship refused to allow its employees to evacuate, leading to the tragic deaths of over 20 crew members. Representing several of the victims' families, Eaves Law Firm conducted an in-depth investigation of the underwater wreckage. The evidence uncovered was so compelling that the company was forced to pay substantial settlements to each family.
Another example of our unwavering dedication to offshore cases occurred in 1994. A cargo ship crossing the Atlantic Ocean encountered a massive storm, and despite the captain's request to turn back, the company insisted he continue the journey. The ship sank in the storm, resulting in the loss of 29 crew members. Through our investigation, we uncovered evidence proving that the cargo was improperly stored and that the company prioritized profits over the safety of its crew. As a result, Eaves Law Firm secured compensation for the families of those who lost their lives.
