Maritime Injuries

Maritime vessels are one of the most dangerous places to work. For this reason, special remedies are available under the maritime law to compensate those hurt at sea and their families. If a worker becomes injured or sick while in the service of a vessel, the employer must pay the worker a basic living allowance and medical bills until he or she is healed. Damages for personal injury or death may be recoverable under the Jones Act or the Death on the High Seas Act. At Diamond~Massong, we are experienced in helping maritime workers – whether they are fishermen, deckhands, processors, engineers, ferry workers, or other crewmembers – get the compensation they are entitled to in this special area of law.

“Maria Diamond is tough and confident, but also kind and compassionate. We were bowled over by her expertise. She was able to wrap up our auto accident case quickly and successfully. Her grasp of our case put us at ease, and there were no surprises during the settlement. We can't recommend Maria highly enough.” Glenn and Becky D.
