Baton Rouge Work Boat Injury Attorneys
While working aboard a maritime vessel in waters outside of Louisiana, and elsewhere across the U.S. and the globe, there are often unique and difficult challenges for those employees. Unfortunately, many of these hazards often result in serious injury and death of workers when accidents occur. The law does, however, provide special protection for maritime workers under the Jones Act and other maritime laws.
At Dodson, Hooks & Frederick, APLC, our lawyers provide experienced and effective legal representation to those who have been injured on work boats throughout the United States. We will investigate the accident to determine the cause and all liable parties, as well as what statutes apply to the situation. We have obtained millions in compensation for hundreds of workers resulting from offshore injuries.
