Employers Are Responsible for Your Safety
Employers of sea workers are responsible for ensuring that the workplace is free of hazards (or at least as much as possible). When men and women sea workers are injured in preventable accidents, it is the employer who should be held liable. Preventable accidents may include:
- Falling overboard
- Slippery, wet decks
- Un-seaworthy vessels or boats
- Old broken machinery
- Unsecured loads
- Lifting injuries
- Slip and fall injuries
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury or death while at sea, you should contact us for help. We will fight to ensure all responsible parties, including your employer and any other crew members are held accountable for their actions. Just because sea work may be more dangerous than other professions, it doesn’t mean seamen should not be protected if they are injured.
