Riverside Maritime Accident Attorney

If you have suffered serious injuries during the course of your employment on a boat, barge or any other vessel, you may be able to recover damages under the Jones Act.  The Riverside maritime injury attorneys at Estey & Bomberger, LLP provide dedicated representation to those injured while working at sea. The Jones Act was enacted by the United States Congress to give seamen and boat crew workers protection for their injuries, including:

  • Loss of future wages
  • Loss of ability to work
  • Payment for medical bills
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional and mental anguish

Do not take your employer’s word, a statement by an insurance company, or another crew worker’s opinion about your eligibility to file a claim under the Jones Act.  An attorney at Estey & Bomberger, LLP will listen to the facts of your unique case and help you determine whether or not you have a Jones Act case and how much that case may be worth.  Jones Act settlements may greatly exceed the amount available to you under Workers Compensation benefits.

The Riverside law firm of Estey & Bomberger, LLP regularly handles boat injury cases, both to pleasure boaters under negligence law, and maritime workers under the Jones Act.  We will be able to determine which law governs your case, and how much financial compensation you may be entitled do.  We have represented clients working on commercial fishing boats, shipping boats, and those working on offshore oil drilling boats. Anybody working aboard a ship, including housekeepers, captains and crew may be protected. No matter what industry you work in, we can help you if you have been injured while working on a floating vessel.

It does not matter whether or not you were working on international waters, a river, or a lake when you were injured to be protected under the Jones Act.  Even if you were injured on land, you may still be entitled to submit a claim if you spend a certain amount of your working time on a boat or vessel. For more information, contact the Riverside Jones Act law firm of Estey & Bomberger, LLP.

Our Inland Empire Jones Act attorneys will review your case and determine whether Federal law or state tort law will apply. If the Jones Act does not apply to your particular injury situation, you may also be entitled to protection under the Longshore Harbor Worker’s Act (LHWCA). It is best to consult with a knowledgeable attorney to determine whether or not your rights are protected under the Jones Act. Our Riverside maritime attorneys have more than 70 years of combined experience protecting the rights of injured maritime workers.

At Estey & Bomberger, LLP, there are never any start-up costs or fees to begin your Riverside maritime injury case. If we do not recover money for your maritime case, you will not owe us anything. We offer all potential clients a free consultation with an experienced and knowledgeable California Jones Act lawyer.  For your free Riverside maritime law consultation, call (951)543-9020.
