Thorough Knowledge of Maritime and Admiralty Law
At Kraft Palmer Davies, PLLC, in Seattle, Washington, we are seasoned attorneys with extensive experience in maritime and admiralty law. Our practice includes the following areas:
Maintenance and Cure/Unearned Wages — Area seamen come to us when they have been denied rightful compensation or have suffered work-related injuries. If you were injured or became ill while in the service of a vessel, your employer owes you a living allowance and medical expenses until you have regained your health.
Commercial Fishing/Crabbing/Processing Injuries — At Kraft Palmer Davies, PLLC, we diligently advocate for commercial fishermen and processors who have been injured while working aboard a fishing boat or floating processor, or the survivors of those who lost their lives at sea. Too much is at stake not to retain a seasoned maritime law attorney who understands the Jones Act's provisions for personal injury and wrongful death damages.
Contact us at 206-624-8844 or toll free at 800-448-8008 for diligent advocacy from seasoned admiralty and maritime law attorneys.
Tug and Barge Injuries — Tug workers put their well-being at risk on a daily basis when serving Puget Sound ports. Injuries and death are not uncommon, but the laws that govern your right to compensation are distinct from those for injuries on shore. Our job is to protect an employee's rights under the Jones Act.
Washington State Ferries Employee Injuries — Ferries account for a large amount of traffic on Puget Sound. Employees play a vital role. When they get injured on the job, they need aggressive representation to pursue the compensation they deserve from the State of Washington or the owner of another vessel that caused the injury.
Cruise Ship Injuries - A pleasure cruise can turn to immediate tragedy when a serious injury occurs. We have the knowledge and resources to protect the rights of those hurt due to hazardous conditions or negligence on a Holland America Line or Cruise West cruise ship.
Cargo and Tanker Seaman - If you fall within the legal definition of a seaman under the Jones Act, you have special rights if you suffer an on-the-job injury. We go beyond the workers' compensation system to get you the damages you deserve, including maintenance and cure.
