Maritime Accident Lawyers
Boat Injury Attorneys
"The annual fatality rate for commercial fisherman was 28 times higher than the rate of all U.S. workers in 2007."
—National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Working as a maritime worker or seaman can be incredibly dangerous. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has declared that commercial fishing alone is the most dangerous job in the country (2007). If you've been injured as a crew of one of the following:
- Tanker
- Tug
- Barge
- Trawler
- Jack-up rig
- Semi-submersible rig
- Mobile offshore drilling rig
- Or other maritime vessel
You need to know your rights under the Jones Act and other maritime laws. The lawyers of Greene & Phillips have the experience and the knowledge about all aspects of maritime law and would be happy to answer your questions about what your options are when you've been injured at sea or on a river.
Maritime laws such as the Merchant Marine Act (Jones Act) and the Long shore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, are intended to protect workers hurt on boats, ships, other nautical vessels, or during onshore nautical tasks. However, all to often injured workers can be taken advantage of because of the complexity of the laws and the unscrupulous nature of insurance companies.
