Maritime Accident And Injuries
Maritime Accident Attorney for Injured Seamen, Longshore and Offshore Workers
Jahani Law P.C. represents injured seafarers, longshore workers, harbor workers, and offshore personnel in maritime injury claims. Our practice includes claims under the Jones Act, general maritime law, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), and other applicable maritime laws. With experience as both a maritime attorney and former ship captain and Master Mariner, Masoud Jahani brings practical maritime knowledge to cases involving vessel accidents, unsafe working conditions, unseaworthiness, and negligence.
For longshore and harbor workers, we also assist with claims under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), including injuries occurring on docks, terminals, shipyards, and other maritime workplaces. Where appropriate, we also evaluate potential third-party negligence claims against vessel owners, contractors, terminal operators, and other responsible parties.
Offshore workers face serious risks on platforms, vessels, rigs, and other offshore facilities. Depending on the circumstances, an injury claim may arise under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), the Jones Act, or general maritime law. Jahani Law evaluates the applicable maritime law, investigates the accident, preserves evidence, and pursues claims against responsible parties where appropriate.
Jahani Law represents workers injured in a wide range of maritime accidents, including machinery and equipment accidents, falls, unsafe ladders and accessways, defective vessel conditions, lifting accidents, and other unsafe working conditions. For qualifying seamen, we evaluate claims under the Jones Act and general maritime law, including negligence and unseaworthiness claims, and pursue the compensation available under applicable law.
If you or a loved one has been injured while working at sea, aboard a vessel, in a shipyard, at a marine terminal, or in another maritime workplace, Jahani Law P.C. can evaluate your rights under the applicable maritime laws.
