Protecting the Rights of Maritime Workers

Crew members and seamen injured on the job are entitled to compensation under federal law. Holzberg Legal represents maritime workers, including those on cruise ships, commercial vessels, tugboats, barges, and oil rigs. The Jones Act provides injured seamen with:

  • Maintenance and Cure: Coverage for wages, housing, food, medical care, and rehabilitation while recovering.
  • Negligence and Unseaworthiness Claims: Compensation for injuries caused by unsafe conditions or negligence.

Longshore and harbor workers are also protected under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), providing legal remedies for injuries or wrongful death.
