Oakland Maritime Law Attorney

Laws governing accidents and injuries at sea are complex and different than the laws that govern accidents and injuries on land. If you have been hurt while working at sea, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries under the Jones Act. Contact the Oakland maritime injury lawyers at Estey & Bomberger for more information or a free review of your legal rights.

Types of Vessels

Injuries can occur on all types of vessels. We have represented all types of maritime workers, including commercial fishermen, boat engineers, offshore workers, welders, and seamen. Maritime law provides protection to those injured while working on any type of boat, including:

  • Barges
  • Commercial fishing vessels
  • Dredges
  • Ferries
  • Harbor cruise ships
  • Offshore oil drilling rigs
  • Oilfield supply ships
  • Pilot ships
  • Port crane vessels
  • Tankers
  • Transportation boats
  • Trawlers
  • Tugs
  • Water taxis.

Understanding The Value of Your Claim

It is always a good idea to have an attorney review your situation before you accept an offer from an insurance company. You may be entitled to far more than the insurance company is offering. The Oakland maritime lawyers at Estey & Bomberger have more than 70 years of combined experience representing those injured at sea. An experienced attorney is available to review your situation and explain your legal options in a free and confidential consultation. You may be entitled to compensation under:

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

Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be entitled to monetary damages for:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation
  • Past and future lost earnings
  • Permanent disability
  • Wrongful death.

Cruise Ship & Yacht Injuries

We also represent passengers, crewmembers and employees injured at sea in cruise ship accidents and yacht accidents. Cruise ship and yacht accidents may be governed by city, county, state or even federal laws, depending on the circumstances of the accident and injuries and where they occurred. In your free consultation, our attorneys will review the facts of your case and determine which laws apply, and what damages you may be entitled to recover.
