Representing Maritime Injury Victims Nationwide

At Beard Stacey & Jacobsen, our maritime law attorneys have represented seamen and fishermen from nearly all 50 States, although most of their maritime injury cases occur in the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. We have also handled major injury and death claims in New York, New Orleans, California, Samoa, Gulf of Mexico, and the South Pacific.

For more than 25 years, we have won money damages for injured seamen in:

  • Alaska
  • Washington
  • Oregon

If you are injured working aboard a ship or boat, you should look for the best law firm in the country to represent you. Contact an attorney at our firm today for a free consultation and case evaluation.

Representing Injured Seamen Nationwide

Our reputation as maritime injury lawyers is creating demand for our services on a national basis. We are frequently associated by other lawyers because of our experience and knowledge about fishing accident cases. If you have been seriously injured in another state, our maritime attorneys can handle your case in association with local legal counsel. Our attorney fees will not be any more expensive than less experienced, or non-maritime lawyers, who are located where you may live, or where your accident occurred.

Jones Act negligence claims for injured seamen are governed by Federal Maritime law. This means the law governing a case in Alaska, Washington, and Oregon is the very same, or similar to, the laws governing Jones Act negligence claims in other states.

If you have been injured working aboard a boat or vessel anywhere in the U.S., contact us for a free consultation about what rights you have, and what compensation you may be entitled to receive. You should have a maritime lawyer on your side when you are making decisions that will impact the remainder of your life.
