Compensation for Offshore Worker Injuries

Maritime workers perform essential duties in dangerous work environments. Fortunately, offshore workers and those who work on docks, shipyards, and harbors are protected by laws that entitle them to compensation after they’re hurt on the job.

This includes the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), which protects the rights of workers on the waterfront at shipyards, docks, and other industrial maritime facilities, and the Jones Act, which entitles injured seamen and workers injured offshore to maintenance and cure compensation that includes the costs of your recovery, medical bills, and lost wages.

Our firm has successfully litigated maritime claims and is available to review cases involving:

  • Commercial fishing accidents
  • Cruise ship worker injuries
  • Dock worker / longshore injuries
  • Offshore / oil rig accidents
  • Explosions and fires
  • Slip, trip, and fall accidents
  • Unseaworthiness
  • Inadequate training
  • Failure to provide reasonably safe conditions

Offshore workers who prevail in their claims are entitled to a recovery of their losses, including:

  • Maintenance and cure benefits for Jones Act claims
  • Expenses associated with physical recovery
  • Costs of future medical needs
  • Lost wages and future earnings
  • Pain and suffering

Other Sea and Boat Accidents
