Workplace Injuries
Work-related accidents can leave you with medical bills, lost wages, and stress and worry.
State and federal workers compensation (or workman’s comp) laws are designed to help people who have been injured on the job. Workers’ compensation laws can be complex and confusing. Injured workers need an experienced legal team working to ensure that they receive the maximum possible recovery.

Injured on the Water?
If you work on the water and have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. There are federal and state laws designed to protect workers, such as those who work on ships, barges, fishing boats, ferries, docks, piers, wharves, and oil rigs, who have been hurt on the job. These laws include the Jones Act, Longshore & Harbor Workers Act, and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. These laws are designed to help with your medical bills and lost wages.
