MARITIME INJURY CLAIMS AGAINST ALASKAN LEADER FISHERIES
Alaska, Washington, & Oregon Jones Act Injury Lawyers

Crewmen working for even the best fishing companies sometimes suffer severe and permanent injuries for which they deserve compensation. The maritime lawyers at Beard Stacey and Jacobsen represent injured fishermen and fish processors in claims against the Seattle-based fishing companies working in the Bering Sea.

If you have been injured working as a crewman, deckhand, or fish processor aboard a vessel owned by Alaskan Leader Fisheries, you should contact an experienced maritime lawyer to learn about your rights under the Jones Act and Federal Maritime law. Crewmen working aboard fishing vessels are covered by Federal Maritime law when they are injured working at sea. Almost all accidents at sea are preventable if proper safety precautions are followed.
