Maritime Injuries

Maritime work is unique and challenging, a fact which both draws workers in and can put them in dangerous situations. Inclement weather, cramped spaces, heavy machinery, slick surfaces, and the high pressure of the job often leads to accidents and can inflict significant injury on workers. Not only are the injuries themselves overwhelming, but it can also be difficult for maritime workers to know where to turn for help. State and federal laws are specific in their governance of maritime injuries, and many workers are simply unsure of their rights and how the law can protect them.
