Maritime occupations leave seamen vulnerable to burn injuries

Seamen and other maritime workers are vulnerable to burns when they work in confined spaces in engine and boiler rooms. Ships carrying flammable cargo explode or catch fire. Corrosive chemicals result in permanent disability. Maritime workers face water, steam, and hot pipes that can cause second or third degree burns. Latti & Anderson achieved a 4.5 million dollar settlement for a merchant seaman who was out of work for 2 years due to severe burns.
