LOCKE HENRY LAW HANDLES THE FOLLOWING Maritime LAW ACCIDENT CASES:
Maritime personal injury cases arise from the unique dangers of working on vessels, rigs, or ports. Unlike standard workers' compensation, maritime law provides broader protections for injured seamen, including maintenance and cure benefits, unseaworthiness claims, and negligence under the Jones Act. If you've suffered a maritime injury, such as back strains from heavy lifting, traumatic brain injuries from falls, crush injuries, broken bones, or burns from faulty machinery, you may be entitled to recover lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more.
While our core focus is maritime law, we also address intersecting employment law and civil rights issues that affect maritime workers. Harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination can compound the stresses of life at sea, leading to hostile work environments or unfair dismissals.
