People working on navigable rivers, lakes and the high seas have a different group of rights than those
who work on land. If injury or death occurs as a result of an employer's negligence offshore or on a navigable
vessel, a claim against either the employer under the Federal Jones Act or against another party causing
the injury under General Maritime Law may be an effective course of action.
Examples of neglect can include faulty equipment, slippery walking surfaces, untrained employees and mechanically
malfunctioning vessels. The employee or family may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, medical expenses,
pain and suffering, future income, future medical expenses, and spouse's loss of services and society.
The Law Office of Scott P. Callahan, P.C. is highly capable of handling cases under these different circumstances.
