Assisting Seamen Following Cargo Ship Accidents

If you’ve been injured while working on a blue water vessel, such as a cargo ship or cruise ship, you have important rights. These include the right to a safe work environment and the right to compensation after a serious injury. At Spagnoletti Law Firm, our experienced maritime attorneys have helped hundreds of injured workers recover the compensation they deserve after onboard accidents. No matter who was at fault, we can fight for your right to maintenance and cure benefits, as well as your wages for the remainder of the voyage.

You may also be entitled to file a Jones Act claim if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence while working on an oceangoing vessel, crew boat, supply boat, tugboat, jack-up rig, or oil and gas rig. We have handled all types of serious injuries, including brain injuries, limb amputations, burns, back and neck injuries, paralysis, and even wrongful death cases.

Under the Jones Act, injured seamen can seek compensation for lost wages, future earning potential, medical bills, and pain and suffering. Our team will investigate whether unsafe conditions or unseaworthiness contributed to your injury. We work closely with medical experts to document your injuries and build a strong case for the compensation you need.

If you’ve been hurt on the job, don’t wait. Contact Spagnoletti Law Firm today, and let us help you protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve. For more information, please contact us online or at 713-804-9306.
