Maritime injury attorneys are dedicated to recovering large settlements for anyone who is injured while working in the maritime industry and who can prove that another individual's negligence contributed to their injuries.

Our affiliated personal injury lawyers have experience in seeking compensation for the following workers:

• divers, seamen and officers
• cooks, deckhands and cargo loaders
• cruise ship employees
• dredge, oil rig and tugboat operators
• naval architects and engineers
• pipefitters, machinists and welders
• shipbuilders and repair workers

If you have been injured while working a maritime job, consult with an experienced maritime lawyer to learn more about your legal rights. Maritime settlements can exceed awards typically granted via your state's workers' compensation laws.

Maritime Injury Facts and Statistics

The following offshore injury statistics were compiled by the U.S. Coast Guard and represent maritime incidents/accidents for 2008:

• The USCG responded to over 27,000 maritime incidents.
• Over 800 fatalities resulted from these incidents.
• Nearly $122 million in damage resulted from maritime accidents.
• About 90 percent of those who died from drowning were not wearing their life jackets.
• In many cases, maritime accidents and offshore injuries result from slip and falls, collisions, capsizing and exposure to toxins.

What We Can Do For You

Following an offshore injury, it's vital that you:

• Receive all necessary treatments to prevent further injury and/or death
• Consult with a personal injury lawyer who specializes in maritime lawsuits to find out if you are eligible for compensation via the Merchant Marine Act of 1920

Also known as the Jones Act, the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 stipulates that injured maritime workers are entitled to compensation when:

• injured at work
• another individual's negligence played a role in causing the injury

Additionally, maritime employees can collect settlements if they are forced to work aboard “unseaworthy” vessels.

For a thorough, free evaluation of your case, fill out the contact form and an attorney will contact you shortly. Following an initial discussion of your unique circumstances, a maritime injury lawyer will find experts to support your claims, examine the opposing party's arguments to find inconsistencies or fallacies that will weaken their claims, and will fight aggressively on your behalf.

Our maritime attorneys work on contingency, so you don't have to pay for legal services until or unless your case is settled.
