Our Boston maritime attorneys offer free initial consultations and representation without a retainer fee to people injured at sea and on land. For personal injury and wrongful death cases, our clients owe us nothing until we recover money. During the consultation, we will talk with you and your family about what occurred. We will spend time learning about you, your work and your family. We will learn about the location of the accident, the name of your employer and the name of the boat. We will ask you about your injuries and how your life has changed because of them. If you are the family member of someone injured or killed at sea, we will discuss how your loss or life changes will affect you going forward. In the majority of cases, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means that if we do not recover for you, we do not receive fees; if we do recover money for you, we receive 1/3 of that money as our fees, plus any expenses we incurred working on your case. Unlike some firms, we do not charge more to put the case in suit, to try the case or to appeal the case.
We can help you file a claim under maritime laws such as the Jones Act or the Longshore Act. In a case under the Longshore Act, we charge an hourly rate unless we settle.
Our practice encompasses all aspects of maritime law and personal injury law. Whatever your injuries, our legal team will use its experience and knowledge of maritime and personal injury law to pursue the payment you deserve. Our goal is to help you recover fully from your losses. Contact our Boston maritime lawyers today and set up a free consultation.
