Practice Area

Admiralty and Maritime 100%

Our office focuses exclusively on maritime injury claims of injured offshore workers. Seamen perform work that is extremely specialized. Rigs, drillships, vessels, barges and others aren't like land businesses or workplaces. It's a different culture and language when someone works on the water. Maritime cases are unique and can dramatically affect the future of maritime workers. They deserve the utmost attention, care, and focus, which is why we limit our practice. It's that important to us.

Young Firm

I would have to say that I made no mistake by hiring The Young Firm as a representing attorney for me. They have shown nothing but consideration and care for my entire situation. This firm has the utmost care for their clients. Mr. Young has treated my entire situation very seriously and is working v...ery hard to see that I will be compensated for my injuries.

jones act/ maritime law

I suffered an injury working offshore on a drilling rig which required surgery. I was sent home with no income and almost became homeless. I researched different attorneys online, but wasnt sure who to hire. Then I came across Tim of the Young Firm. He offered tons of free, helpful info which also in...cluded what to look for when hiring a maritime attorney. This was the only attorney I seen who did this, which to me showed he had the confidence and knowledge to handle my case. I was stressed and driving myself crazy wondering how I was going to survive while recovering from surgery. Tim cosigned a loan for me to cover my living expenses until my case was settled. Everything I worried about was taken care of by the young firm. My case settled in less than a year, which is very fast for a maritime case. From what I understand, these cases sometime drag out for a couple of years. Mr young has a team of knowledgeable staff, but had no problems answering my questions directly, quickly, and it really was like he read my mind. I have no regrets hiring the young firm, and highly recommend them. If you are in a similar situation, and are worried what youre going to do with your life, just give them a call. You have nothing to worry about.

"Maritime and personal injury attorney Tim Young is a strong advocate for Louisiana injury victims and has gone out of his way to provide quality information for both current and prospective clients. He has authored books on both maritime law as well as motor vehicle accidents and he seeks to help people understand what they are up against if they've suffered injuries as a result of someone else's negligence. Better yet, Mr. Young offers the books for free to Lousiana residents who request them. He's even put together a Maritime Injury Law Toolkit that contains a book as well as two dvds. If you've suffered a maritime-related injury or if you've been hurt in a car or truck accident in the New Orleans area, or anywhere in Louisiana for that matter, I highly recommend that you contact Tim Young to discuss your potential case."

"Tim Young is the best maritime lawyer I know. In fact, there is no other attorney my office refers maritime cases to, no matter where they are. Representing injured workers in maritime cases is in his blood. Tim’s dad founded their law firm and learned the trade and how to treat clients from his famous father. His father also passed down all his contacts and winning tactics. As an attorney in his own right, Tim is very effective for his clients and well respected by the legal community. He cares deeply for his clients and treats them like family. I highly recommend calling Tim if you have been injured and are in need of an experienced maritime accident lawyer."
