Los Angeles Maritime Law Attorneys

If you were seriously hurt while working at sea, contact the Los Angeles maritime law firm of Estey & Bomberger, LLP. You may be entitled to compensation under the Jones Act.  The Merchant Marine Act, originally enacted in 1920, was changed in 1970 and is now known as the Jones Act.  The Jones Act protects workers injured offshore on ocean waters as well as inland bodies of water, including rivers and lakes.

All types of vessels travel California waters. In addition to personal watercraft and pleasure boats, many people work on boats, including:

  • Offshore oil drilling rigs
  •     Barges
  •     Tankers
  •     Trawlers
  •     Fishing boats
  •     Ships
  •     Ferries
  •     Water taxis
  •     Harbor cruise ships
  •     Dredges
  •     Transportation boats

After an accident, insurance companies may try to devalue your injury case and will offer you a very low amount of compensation for your injuries. With our previous experience representing Jones Act seamen and injured maritime workers, we know how to win maximum settlements and verdicts in complex maritime injury cases. At a free case consultation, our lawyers will explain your legal rights for recovery, including:

  • The principle of maintenance and cure
  • The doctrine of unseaworthiness
  • The Jones Act
  • The Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act

The Los Angeles, California maritime law firm of Estey & Bomberger, LLP has helped numerous clients injured while working in the commercial fishing industry, shipping transportation industry, offshore oil drilling industry, and other water-related occupational industries. We have the knowledge and resources to help you receive the maximum compensation available for your:

  • Medical bills

You may still be entitled to compensation if you were injured on land or while the ship was docked.  A lawyer at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can help you understand your recovery options and your legal rights under maritime law.
