Maritime Accident Injury?
A brief, to-the-point initial telephone consultation is often enough to determine if you have a case. If a case appears justified, we will follow up with an additional no-obligation consultation that may involve review of your medical records, contract, accident and injury story and personal experience. This follow up may be at a location you choose, or at one of the locations on our Home Page.

The cases listed below are recent, actual maritime injury settlements obtained by us. The amounts listed do not include additional sums paid, above the amount of the settlement listed, for maintenance, medical cure, wages due, bonus, or other similar payments. Our contingency fee makes no charge for obtaining your maintenance, medical cure, wages, bonus, or other amounts currently due, as long as you are represented by us, and we typically assist you in recovering all benefits currently due, without additional charge.

There is no way to precisely predict the value of a potential claim or claims, and the value of a claim will often relate to the experience, abilities, and representation of your attorney.
