Brodsky Micklow Bull & Weiss LLP

Our Maritime attorneys have more than 100 years of combined experienced in representing clients who have been injured or harmed as a result of maritime activities or accidents. We regularly represent a wide variety of clients, including maritime workers, seamen, and longshoremen. Our client base also extends to individuals who are hurt in recreational boating and sailing accidents, ferryboat and whale-watching voyages, sports fishing trips, maritime construction, diving, and cruise ship mishaps. Additionally, we also represent banks, lenders, and marinas as maritime lien holders in vessel arrest proceedings. To seek damages for workplace injuries that cause personal harm or permanent disability, most land-based workers are limited to workers' compensation. The Jones Act, however, provides a seaman with a right to full remuneration due to the negligence of the vessel's captain, owner, or crew, separate from its unseaworthiness.
