Maritime Injury Lawyer

Protected Injured Seaman Throughout the Nation

When a serious maritime injury or death occurs to a seaman offshore, there are many tangible and intangible costs that can take a toll on the immediate and future well-being of the seaman and his family. The immediate impact of a serious injury is obvious— the lost work and wages, the costs of hospitalization, and the suffering. Even rehabilitation costs that may continue into the future are a recognized cost of an injury.

Sadly, some of the long term costs of an injury cannot be known by anyone who has not experienced a life changing injury or death of a loved one before. Seaman's rights defined by the Jones Act allow an injured seaman to recover damages for his injury. Consider these costs that could result from a maritime injury or death of a seaman:

• Hospitalization;
• Long-term rehabilitation;
• In-home care;
• Lost wages and earning capacity;
• Future physical / emotional health complications;
• Emotional and financial counseling; and
• Vocational rehabilitation
