Brusco Tug and Barge is one of the Northwest largest tug and barge services providing towing, construction, docking, ship assist, log and chip barges, dredging, and freight and cargo services. Seamen injured while working aboard tug and barges owned by Brusco Tug and Barge are entitled to benefits under Federal Maritime law. Under the General Maritime law, seamen injured on vessels are entitled to maintenance and cure benefits. If you are injured through negligence of your employer or unseaworthiness of your tug or barge, you are also entitled to benefits under the Jones Act, which may include compensation for pain and suffering, disability, lost past and future wages, loss of wage earning capacity, retraining costs, and future medical expenses.
If you have been injured working at sea aboard a tug or barge, the best way to protect your rights to maritime benefits is to contact an experienced maritime lawyer for advice as soon after your injury as possible. You have the right to choose your own treating doctor. You do not have to sign a release of all claims before you return to work. Don’t place yourself in danger of further injury by being rushed back to work from your injury too early.
