Maritime death claims are some of the most complex and demanding of all personal injury claims. Crewmen who work at sea or in commercial maritime environments are exposed to dangerous conditions every day. Federal laws such as the Jones Act recognize these dangers and provide an extra layer of protection for those injured or lost at sea. These laws also provide specific remedies for surviving family members who are victims of maritime wrongful death.

If you have been injured while at sea, your case needs to be handled by an experienced, aggressive and ethical maritime lawyer serving Washington State, Oregon, and Alaska. When injury at sea is due to negligence or unseaworthiness, it is imperative to seek the counsel of the experienced lawyers at Stacey & Jacobsen, PLLC. We handle only maritime law cases-that’s what we do. We know how to prove negligence and unseaworthiness that give clients an outcome that not only compensates victims, but deters employers from ignoring the safety of workers in the future. Economic damages compensate for things like past and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and retraining costs. Non-economic damages are meant to pay for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, the anguish of losing a career, and the loss of recreational activities. In the right case, we sue for punitive damages which serve to punish the employer in cases involving egregious conduct.

When you hire a maritime injury lawyer at the Washington firm of Stacey & Jacobsen, PLLC, you don’t hire a single attorney, you hire a maritime law firm with decades of experience handling maritime injury and death claims. When a maritime lawyer at Stacey & Jacobsen, PLLC tells you that he thinks you have a good case, that opinion is based upon deep experience and the proven results of past cases.
