Commercial Fishing Boat Accidents
There are many dangers facing workers on commercial fishing boats. Workers can suffer severe and life-threatening injuries by getting limbs caught in the draw works and wenches. Slippery decks can result in dangerous falls. Shifting crates and equipment can cause workers to fall overboard.
Whatever fishing boat injury you have suffered, it is important to consult with an attorney who can effectively handle these claims. Commercial fishing injuries are covered under a different set of laws than land-based workplace accidents. Our attorneys have the necessary knowledge of the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act and other maritime law statutes, helping us pursue fair and adequate compensation for injured commercial fishermen.
