Maritime Injury Lawyer

Injury Lawyers in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C.

Working in the maritime industry has never been more challenging. Disasters of all kinds happen without warning, leaving you without the resources to support your family. If you have been injured while working on the water, you need the help of a maritime lawyer. The regulations concerning compensation for maritime injuries are complicated due to jurisdictional issues. At ChasenBoscolo, clients are the first priority, and we will fight to get you the compensation you are owed for your maritime personal injury.

There Is Help Out There

The Jones Act
There are a number of federally mandated laws established to protect those who are injured while working on the waterways. One is The Jones Act, which was created in 1920 as the Merchant Marine Act. This act enables workers injured on ships or vessels due to the negligence of a ship owner, captain, or fellow employee to recover damages.

The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act
The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act is another act that provides compensation benefits to various maritime workers who sustain injuries or employment-related occupational diseases. Though these acts were created to help if you are injured, they are often complicated and confusing. A maritime lawyer will help you navigate the process.

The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA)
Similar to maritime workers, railroad workers injured on the job are not covered under regular workers’ compensation laws, even though the tasks they encounter on a daily basis are extremely dangerous, if not life-threatening. The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) was established to protect the rights of railroad workers and make sure they, along with their families, get the compensation they need after being injured on the job. If you were hurt while working in the maritime or railroad industry, contact ChasenBoscolo. We are familiar with these laws and we know how to help.
