Boat & Watercraft Injury Compensation

1-877-525-4100 • Se Habla Español 24/7

Our lawyers understand the unique laws and procedures that apply to people who are injured on boats or other vessels. The Jones Act provides protection similar to workers' compensation for people who are injured while working on boats. The Longshoreman's and Harbor Workers Act covers people who are injured while working on or near harbors or docks. The Death on the High Seas act provides compensation for family members of ship workers who are killed at sea. In recreational boating accidents, the boat owner's insurance company is generally responsible for paying damages for negligence.

Our investigators take pictures of the boats involved and preserve evidence of liability. We speak to possible witnesses and analyze scenarios of how the boat accident happened.
