Our clients have recovered significant compensation for their injuries
We take on a select number of cases to ensure every client receives the attention and support they deserve.
Our track record includes significant recoveries for injured maritime workers, including cases involving oilfield, oil rig accidents, shipyard injuries, and Jones Act claims.
Under the Jones Act, injured maritime workers may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Your compensation depends on the specifics of your case, including the extent of your injury and the negligence involved.
In most maritime injury cases, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, there are exceptions, so it’s crucial to consult a maritime lawyer as soon as possible.
Maintenance and Cure are benefits available to seamen injured on the job. Maintenance covers your living expenses, while Cure pays for your medical care. These benefits are paid until you reach maximum medical improvement.
