Hawaii Maritime Lawyer

Most workers who are injured on the job may pursue a workers' compensation claim for their injuries. However, workers injured at sea are bound by an entirely different set of laws. Individuals involved in admiralty and longshoreman accidents may recover compensation under the Jones Act for their medical expenses, lost wages and other financial burdens associated with the injury. If you or a loved one has been involved in a longshoreman accident, an attorney knowledgeable in maritime law can help navigate these complex laws and recover rightful compensation. Contact my Honolulu law firm to discuss your claim.

Honolulu Maritime Attorney Jan M. Weinberg

As a Harvard Law graduate with over 30 years of legal experience, I understand the federal laws impacting longshoreman and admiralty accidents. I represent workers injured on:

Recover Compensation for your Injuries or Loss

Working on an oil refinery, barge, supply boat or ship can be dangerous work. However, it is the employer's responsibility to provide a safe environment for workers. When representing clients in maritime injury claims, I strive to prove negligence on behalf of the employer or other party which may have contributed to the serious accident. Such negligence may involve:

• Inadequate safety equipment
• Poor or unsafe work conditions
• Inadequate training
• Defective equipment

My experience and deep understanding of the law enables me to guide clients through the process of pursuing full compensation. I represent clients who have suffered a serious offshore injury, such as a spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, loss of a limb or other catastrophic injury in a maritime accident. However, I also represent families in wrongful death claims when a loved one is involved in a fatal offshore accident.

If you or a loved one has been involved in an admiralty or longshoreman accident, an experienced lawyer can help you through this difficult time. I provide clients with personal attention and guidance while vigorously pursuing maximum compensation on their behalf. Contact my personal injury law firm for experienced representation in Hawaii.
