Millions recovered for maritime injury clients

"Injury At Sea knows the maritime business from all angles… easy to work with, hardworking, straightforward, and professional. I was treated with care and concern. They were very helpful in my situation, told me exactly what to do, what to expect and the likely outcome. Five Stars."

"…When they said they would not give John a liver transplant, my heart sank…for the first time in my life I hated being poor because I could not save my child. No one wants to lose a child. I sat in his hospital room and just looked at him and felt helpless that there was nothing I could do…When I was told Injury At Sea had obtained a Court Order to make the Company pay I cried tears of relief…without this my son would have had no hope of living… Thank you to Injury At Sea."

"He was not the same man I married. He seemed weak, confused, and short tempered, When they told us he was going to be in the Hospital for a long while I was so scared. The Hospital was asking constantly how we were going to pay the piling medical bills. ($600,000) I even tried to take a second job which had health insurance, but they would not cover my husband. Axel's health drastically declined and he was needing 24/7 hospital care. I felt so overwhelmed and scared. I was watching my strong, patient kind commercial fisherman husband become weak, scared, helpless, bitterer, and just not the same man. Injury At Sea obtained a Court Order directing fishing company to immediately pay $220,000 of bills and deposit $65,000 a month in Injury At Sea trust account to guarantee future payments."

“I just want to express my gratitude for your exquisite performance, research, and kindness over the last week. I truly felt that I was in good hands, and the outcome is proof of that! The last five years has been quite a journey, at times very dark, but today things feel brighter than ever. Thank you for shining a light on my story, for never wavering from your belief in me, and for 'bringing it home'. You, my friend, are the man. Thank you so very much.”

"Matt is smart, professional and was wonderful jumping in late in the case, getting ramped up quickly. He has the knowledge and patience explaining legal questions to me. Best thing is he took the time to really listen to how this accident changed my life. He fought for me, my rights, and my recovery. I am truly grateful to Matt!"

“The patience, diligence and professionalism of Injury At Sea was outstanding, but I was particularly shocked by the amount of settlement they managed to get me. I knew I was facing a particularly harsh insurer, and I did not have a huge amount of evidence for my case. An asset to your firm and a pleasure to deal with, I will be recommending Injury At Sea whenever possible.”

“Having met with a few other attorneys who were honestly quite intimidating, I was very happy to find Injury At Sea (I’m not from this country and was not prepared for the medical & legal processes!)! I felt like they genuinely cared about my recovery, and how I was progressing. I was very happy with the amount we settled on after mediation. Great service, professional, compassionate, and won’t settle for less than their clients deserve 🙂 Thank you!”

“Hiring Mr. Gooding was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I was extremely impressed with his experience and knowledge at every stage of the proceedings. Mr. Gooding did his research and learned every little detail of my case. He was very passionate about his work. He took the extra time and effort to make sure everything was in order and correct. He also kept me informed of everything I needed to know and do to prepare for my case. James Gooding is a top-notch attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a maritime injury attorney. I would hire him in a heartbeat if I was ever injured again. Thanks James for all your great work!!!”

“I cannot praise Jim Gooding enough. He is an exemplary lawyer and person. He is honest, compassionate and skillful at the same time. These are traits not often found in lawyers or people; yet alone together. Our family is forever grateful to Jim. He helped us when others had turned their backs."

"Hi Jim, just a short note to thank you for bringing this case to me for resolution. As I mentioned…I think [this] is a very nice settlement you should be proud of. Best regards and thanks again.”

“I do truly appreciate you through this, you are the lighthouse on a moonless stormy Bering sea night.”

“I had total confidence in Jim due to his professional and courteous demeanor as well as his knowledge. I really felt that he was in my corner fighting the good fight. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to use his services again.”

“I wanted to thank you for all your hard work and your excellent management of my case. I do indeed think we got a 'shut the front door' amount of money. I think you are a very, very exceptional human being, a kind person, and a blessing on our planet.”

“If you want a lawyer that is understandable and thinks of your welfare, you don’t have to look any more. Mr. Gooding has helped me with anything that I’ve needed, and plus he has worked with all of my friends because my friends trust me and my judgment. He is always working on your case to get things done in the right matter for you and your case.”

“Jim was always honest, forthright, diligent and compassionate. Even though at times it seemed akin to a David and Goliath undertaking, I never doubted that we would be victorious. A years long battle did not dissuade them, and their dutiful, detailed, exhaustive research and hard work ultimately paid off.”

“Jim was extremely adept at handling the courtroom ups and downs, was quick on his feet, and demonstrated compassion to me on a personal level. The outcome was that we won the case and set a legal precedent.”

"Excellent work! James Gooding is an amazing attorney. A great team of people who guided me through the legal process which lead to a great result."

“Jim entered my complex case late in the game. He plowed through 10 inches of documents in a very short time period and then represented me at trial beautifully.”

"Thanks, Jim. You've helped me tremendously throughout this tragedy and came through on everything you said."
