Maritime Accidents
Aggressive Representation for Maritime and Longshoreman Injuries
Maritime workers face unique risks every day, whether they’re seamen, offshore oil workers, or longshoremen. When accidents happen on the job, the Merchant Marine Act (Jones Act) and Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) provide avenues for compensation, but navigating these laws requires experienced legal guidance. At the Law Offices of Bennie D. Rush, P.C., we are committed to standing up for injured maritime workers and families affected by wrongful death, working tirelessly to secure the compensation they deserve.
Dedicated Advocacy for Maritime Accident Victims
What Types of Compensation Are Available?
Maritime accident victims may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical Costs and Rehabilitation Services
Lost Wages
Pain and Suffering (in cases involving negligence)
Non-Economic Damages for additional emotional and physical distress
When a third party, such as an equipment supplier or contractor, contributes to an accident, you may have a strong claim for pain and suffering and other damages not covered by standard workers’ compensation.
