Maritime work, from crab boats to oil rigs to merchant vessels to towboats and everything in between, is a strenuous, demanding, and frequently dangerous line of work. On the harsh environment of the high seas, things like weather conditions, unsecured cargo, and equipment failure can lead to a number of different illnesses and injuries – and sometimes, even death.
If a maritime worker is injured due to accident or negligence that worker may be able to receive financial compensation for their injury under American maritime law – laws that are designed to protect you and your family.
