Processing Vessel Injuries

Fish Processor • Commercial Fishermen • Accident Attorneys

Injuries onboard processing vessels

Our maritime law attorneys represent the interests of deckhands and processor workers who have suffered injuries at sea. At Beard Stacey Trueb & Jacobsen, LLP, we understand that all seamen rely on well-trained crews and well-maintained equipment to operate safely in North Pacific waters. When negligence on the part of a ship owner results in injuries at sea or maritime wrongful death, federal law entitles the injured seamen or their family members to make a claim for compensation.

To discuss a fishing vessel injury with an experienced maritime law lawyer, contact our law offices in Seattle or Anchorage.

Processor vessel injuries can be similar to other accident injuries requiring a personal injury claim. Head injuries, back injuries, hand injuries, and repetitive stress injuries can occur anywhere. But injuries sustained while working at sea are usually covered by laws that most personal injury attorneys do not fully understand.
