Unsafe Ferry Conditions Could Result in Injury or Death
Similar to tug and barge injuries, the Jones Act governs compensation for Washington state ferry employee injuries that occur on navigable waters. This higher level of legal complexity provides challenges for the most seasoned attorneys. At Kraft Palmer Davies, PLLC, we are up to that challenge. Too much is at stake when the State of Washington negligence results in unsafe working conditions.
Pursuing Compensation for You and Higher Standards for the Industry
As with all our areas of practice, our goal in cases involving injuries to Washington State Ferries employees is focused on two aspects. We want to help ferry workers and their families secure compensation for any injuries or loss of life suffered. Achieving that objective promotes safer work practices on area ferries for all employees and passengers.
