Head & Brain Injuries
Lawyers Helping Seamen After a Brain or Head Injury
A head or brain injury to a sailor or maritime worker can be life changing. Some victims may become unable to function. Others may suffer cognitive changes that leave them unable to work. Still others may experience personality changes that make them unsuited for their previous work. Changes in mobility and balance may render them incapable of standing on a rocking ship.
Investigating the circumstances of your accident
When a seaman or sailor experiences such an injury, it is important to seek legal counsel as soon as possible. At Latti & Anderson, we work quickly to gather information after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). We have experienced investigators and marine experts to evaluate and analyze evidence and take statements from witnesses. A sense of urgency is important in investigating accident cases because many times the injured seaman has no memory of the accident and is important to learn how the accident happened form witnesses. Cognitive and memory damage from a head or brain injury may be delayed.

Working with experts and specialists to develop a strong case for compensation
We have helped maritime workers throughout New England and the United States suffering from a brain injury, concussion, or skull fracture. We have a record of accomplishment in obtaining payment for medical bills, lost wages, ongoing care, and other costs. We work with medical experts such as neurologists, psychiatrists, and other specialists to learn the extent and nature of your injury. We consult with planners to develop the cost of ongoing treatment and care. We talk with friends and family to find out whether you have experienced subtle personality and cognitive changes.
We build strong cases for clients who have suffered a brain injury onboard a ship, barge, tugboat, dredge, or other vessel. If you work on one of these or on any vessel, you are probably covered by the Jones Act and other maritime laws. Contact us at Latti & Anderson to learn how these laws apply to your situation after a life-altering brain injury.
