Commercial fishermen work long hours and hard in order to bring in fresh daily catches for use in restaurants and hotels as well as supermarkets around the country. Being a fisherman, whether it’s a crabber, shrimper, lobsterman or tuna boat fisherman, is a very demanding job, and more often than not, these individuals work in very unsafe environments where the smallest of accidents can result in catastrophic injuries. The government through the work safety agency OSHA has instituted strict safety and operational regulations to ensure that these individuals are kept safe as they go out in the oceans, lakes and seas in order to make a living. Accidents are thought to be due to freak occurrences of nature, but science and research has shown that well over 90 percent of all accident and the resultant injuries are due to human negligence.

To this end, you may be able to recover substantial money damages so that you can be made whole again, and we’re here to help with that.
