We believe each maritime case has its own unique characteristics that dictate how it will be viewed by a judge or jury. As such, you will not receive “cookie-cutter” representation from the SGB team. We bring expertise from our long tradition of success in wrongful death and personal injury cases to our maritime practice to maximize your potential recovery. And our opponents know that we aren't afraid to bring cases to trial. This means that we do not encourage our clients to choose an unfair settlement over the chance to present a case to a jury. We're here for you, not for a quick settlement that doesn't serve your interests.
If you have suffered a maritime injury or if you are a family member seeking information on behalf of your loved one, it is important that you know your rights as soon as possible. Like all claims, cases brought under federal maritime law have statutes of limitations that require you to file claims within a certain time period.
- $2 million settlement on behalf of a deckhand who sustained a crush injury on board a fish processor in the Bering Sea.
- $850,000 verdict on behalf of the head chef on a fish processor who severely and permanently injured her right arm when she slipped and fell on a galley floor.
- $350,000 settlement for a federal fisheries observer who injured his back at sea.
- $210,000 settlement for a fish processing worker injured because of carelessness of fellow employees.
- Confidential Jones Act settlement for a seaman who developed carpal tunnel syndrome from working conditions on his fishing vessel.
