Reliable In 1979, Lewis & Caplan APLC was founded by Pete Lewis and Robert A. Caplan. This plaintiffs' firm offers numerous services to people who have lost a family member to fatality or become injured due to someone else's negligence. For more than 30 years, local attorneys have entrusted accident victims to Lewis & Caplan. Our attorneys have consistently practiced law at the highest ethical and professional standards and produced excellent legal work. For their professional excellence and ethical standards, all of Lewis & Caplan's partners have an AV Peer Review Rating in Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. Our lawyers have over 30 years of experience assisting injured maritime workers. We understand maritime companies, offshore claims and injury risks, and maritime experts and attorneys who defend claims. We have convinced an injured worker that their injury was due to the negligence of another party and that they are entitled to compensation. We have also successfully represented that person in settlement negotiations, in court, and against unfair appeals. Our lawyers are experts in representing people who have suffered injury or lost a loved one on navigable waters, whether as longshoremen, crew, or while on cruise ships, personal boats and other watercraft. Accidents on oil and gas platforms offshore are also included in the cases we handle. Because of the risks associated with their work and the distance from medical help, maritime workers have numerous legal avenues to recover compensation and receive care after being severely injured.
