The eyes are easily damaged from trauma. Commercial fishing vessels, tug boats, and other boats offer plenty of opportunity for eye injuries. Gaffs, fish hooks, knives, fish spines, paint chips, and metal fragments can all cause penetrating eye injuries. Hazardous chemicals also cause vision loss. Seamen can suffer eye injuries when they are hit by loose objects or poked in the eye by equipment carried by fellow crewmen.
At Beard Stacey & Jacobsen, our maritime lawyers have won substantial damage awards for maritime workers who suffered on-the-job eye injuries. We'd like to help you, too. Please contact us today to discuss your case. The initial consultation is free and you will pay no attorney fees unless we win money for you.
