Maritime Accident Lawyers

Baton Rouge and Gonzales, Louisiana

Maritime accidents specifically refer to accidents involving any sea-going vessels such as:

• Ships
• Freighters
• Barges
• Tankers
• Tugboats
• Riverboats
• Ferries

If a worker, or seaman, on one of these vessels were injured, maritime law may apply rather than workers compensation. Usually, workers compensation prohibits an employee from recovering anything other than workers compensation benefits. The different guidelines under maritime law may allow an injured employee to recover damages from the employer when the negligence of that employer or a co-worker causes the injury.

The experienced Louisiana maritime accident lawyers at Gordon R. Crawford & Associates will review your case and help you get the compensation you deserve.
