About Brian Beckcom

I am a Board Certified personal injury trial lawyer and named partner at VB Attorneys in Houston, Texas. Board Certification in personal injury trial law is the highest credential the State Bar of Texas confers in my field. Fewer than two percent of Texas lawyers are Board Certified.My practice focuses on serious personal injury, wrongful death, maritime injury, Jones Act claims, and complex civil litigation in Texas and across the United States. I represent people who have suffered serious personal injury and families who have lost someone due to wrongful death.Representative CasesI represented crew members of the Maersk Alabama following the 2009 Somali pirate hijacking. My work on that case was featured on every major news outlet in the country, including Good Morning America, Nightline, CNN, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, and Fox News. I also represented Captain Wren Thomas, a boat captain and former Marine who was kidnapped by pirates off the coast of West Africa and taken into the jungles of Nigeria for two weeks before being released. My firm secured a $44 million verdict in a crane accident wrongful death case, a record-breaking verdict.I was the lead counsel in a $10 million settlement for a boat captain who suffered an infection at work, another record-breaking result.I was also lead counsel in a trucking case against a Fortune 100 company that settled for more than $22 million.Our law firm was selected by a federal judge as one of a small group of lawyers to lead the Hurricane Harvey litigation, involving billions of dollars in claims, against the US government.VB Attorneys is an elite boutique firm.
