New York is surrounded by many bodies of water that sea vessels use to deliver goods. From cargo ships to commercial fishing boats, there are many people who work hard on those vessels and for extremely long hours under dangerous conditions. Due to the hazardous nature of working on a sea vessel, seamen are frequently injured on the job. Fortunately, the law allows injured seamen to recover financial compensation under the Jones Act and maritime law for their injuries. To learn more about whether you have a solid claim under the Jones Act, admiralty and/or maritime law, or if an injury lawsuit is more suitable for your situation, talk to our Western New York maritime injury lawyers at Campbell & Associates.
