Our experience representing ferry workers spans decades.

Over the years, we have handled claims involving a wide range of injuries, including falls on stairways, heavy lifting incidents, equipment-related injuries, and accidents occurring on vehicle decks.

While every case is unique, one thing remains consistent: injured maritime workers deserve answers, support, and experienced legal representation when serious injuries occur.

Maritime law is highly specialized, and understanding how those laws apply can make a meaningful difference in the outcome of a claim.

If you have been injured while working aboard a ferry, we are available to discuss your options during a free consultation.

🔹 Seek medical evaluation and treatment
🔹 Document the conditions that contributed to the incident
🔹 Take photographs if it is safe to do so
🔹 Preserve any reports or records related to the event
🔹 Avoid signing documents you do not fully understand

Ferry work is demanding, and the risks are real. Some of the most common injuries experienced by ferry workers include:

🔹 Slips and falls on wet decks
🔹 Injuries on stairways and ladders

🔹 Vehicle deck accidents
🔹 Injuries involving equipment and vessel operations

Many of these incidents are preventable when proper safety procedures are followed and hazards are addressed promptly.

Fish processors keep the season running, but their rights are often overlooked.

Processing work involves fast-paced production environments, heavy equipment, slippery surfaces, and repetitive physical demands. These conditions can lead to serious injuries involving hands, backs, shoulders, and machinery.

Many fish processors are unaware that maritime law may provide important protections following a workplace injury.

Before signing any release, settlement agreement, or company paperwork related to an injury, it is important to fully understand your rights and the impact those documents may have on your future.

If you have been injured while working aboard a factory trawler or seafood processing vessel, we are available to answer your questions and provide a free consultation.

During peak fishing season, crews often work long shifts with limited rest while operating in changing weather conditions. Fatigue can affect judgment, reaction times, communication, and overall vessel safety.

Combined with rough seas, wet decks, heavy equipment, and demanding workloads, fatigue can significantly increase the likelihood of serious injuries.

Maritime employers have a responsibility to provide reasonably safe working conditions, even during busy seasons and challenging operating environments.

If you were injured while working aboard a vessel and believe unsafe conditions played a role, our team can help you understand your options.

If you're injured at sea, the details matter. The actions you take immediately following an accident can help protect both your health and your legal rights.

If possible, document:

🔹 Photos of the accident scene, equipment, or unsafe condition
🔹 Names and contact information for witnesses
🔹 The date, time, and location of the incident
🔹 Any reports made to supervisors or vessel management
🔹 Medical treatment received after the injury

Early documentation often becomes critical evidence in maritime injury claims and Jones Act cases.

Bristol Bay salmon season is in full swing, and safety matters more than ever.

For commercial fishermen, summer in Alaska means long hours, heavy gear, slippery decks, and constantly changing weather conditions. While the work is demanding, every crew member deserves a safe place to work.

If an injury occurs, it is important to understand that maritime workers have rights that differ significantly from traditional workers' compensation systems. Under the Jones Act, injured seamen may be entitled to compensation when employer negligence or unsafe conditions contribute to an injury.

Whether you work on a salmon vessel, tender, or processing operation, knowing your rights before an accident happens can make a difference afterward.

If you have questions about your rights following a maritime injury, our team is here to help.

Many maritime workers assume pursuing a claim is complicated or out of reach. In reality, the process often looks like this:

🔹Start with a free consultation
🔹Investigate what happened and gather evidence
🔹Determine available compensation, including medical care and lost income

These cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
