Injuries on the High Seas

Seaman and others working offshore are exposed to a number of on-the-job risks and dangers every day. When injuries occur in the course of everyday duties or due to negligence on the part of a ship’s owner, seamen and other maritime workers are eligible to take steps to receive certain benefits under the law. However, not all understand the benefits available to them, nor do all employers treat injured workers in a fair, humane way. Bailey & Galyen represents injured seaman and maritime workers, preparing civil actions against employers who refuse to provide benefits required under the law.

Do I Have a Case?

There are a number of issues involved in recovering damages for injuries sustained while at sea or engaged in maritime work. The benefits you are eligible to receive will depend on whether you are a seaman or some other class of maritime worker, whether employer negligence was involved, and whether you have been left disabled by your injuries. Our attorneys will evaluate your case and explain the relevant laws that apply to you.
