Commercial Fishing Boat Injuries

Fishing boat injuries are generally covered under the Jones Act. Every year, many fishermen are injured while working on a fishing vessel. We have handled many types of fishing boat injury cases arising from accidents in the Gulf of Mexico, the West Coast, Alaska and in Alaskan fisheries. In many cases, injuries could have been prevented by the owners and/or operator of the vessel by supplying adequate crew, providing proper training, providing proper equipment or performing proper maintenance. In many cases, the safety of the crew of the fishing boat is either disregarded completely, or is not viewed as priority. Sadly, due to the high demand for work, the injured commercial fisherman is sometimes viewed as being expendable and easily replaced.

We fight for the rights of injured commercial fishermen. We understand the sacrifices that are made by commercial fishermen and will fight to ensure that they are well taken care of in the event of injury. Our maritime law firm will fight to ensure that injured fishermen not only receive proper maintenance and cure benefits, but also all additional compensation that they are entitled to by law. We understand that in the event of a personal injury, the harm may be both physical as well as financial. Many times, as the result of and maritime accident, the worker is not only injured, but is unable to earn money for themselves and their family. We will fight to obtain the best possible results for you in the shortest amount of time.
