If you job is in the marine industry, in all probability, have a good deal of experience dealing with the many regulations and required safety precautions used to keep you and your fellow employees safe. While these safety measures do exist to try and minimize the accident risks, serious problems still occur. In most other work situations traditional insurance called “workers’ compensation” covers these victims when they get injured. For marine workers, including harbor and shipyard crews, admiralty law covers the needs and protects the rights of injured workers.

Occupations out at sea or on/near rivers and other navigable bodies of water have a new risk level in a professional environment. People whose work is on cranes which are near or on the water, on barges, oil rigs, or in shipyards, may need an experienced maritime attorney to assist them in navigating the complex maze that is maritime law. Many of the laws and regulations which govern the rights possessed by these employees have literally been around for hundreds of years. Understanding and applying the relevant law and statutes takes years of experience and a high level of expertise.

At Carabin Shaw, we have specialized in protecting the rights of injured workers. We make the best use possible use of the protections maritime workers have provided to them by the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, and all other relevant rules, regulations and legislation to make sure that all maritime workers who get injured get the maximum chance to get the maximum financial compensation after they have a work related accident.
