Alaska Maritime Accident Injury Lawyer
As shown on television shows such as "Deadliest Catch," Alaska is home to one of the United States' largest and most dangerous commercial fisheries. Fishermen spend long hours working under hazardous conditions catching crab, salmon, cod, pollock, herring, and other species. The fisheries extend from the Pribolof Islands in the Bering Sea to Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian chain to Kodiak Island to the Gulf of Alaska to Southeast Alaska with its fishing communities of Sitka, Petersburg, and Ketchikan. The vessels include gill netters, bowpickers, longliners, crabbers, and large factory ships that process the catch.
The Law Office of Marc June has represented injured fisherman in claims arising out of accidents on China Frost, F/V Sea Venture, F/V Shemya, F/V Bristol Leader, F/V Elvagene, F/V Alaska Leader, O/S/V Pioneer Service, F/V Perseverance, F/V Pamela Rae, F/V Family Pride, F/V Alaska Beauty, F/V Shaman, F/ V Ruff & Reddy, F/V Bella K, and the Holland American vessel, Maasdam.
There are many causes of fishing injuries and deaths. Fishermen experiencing fatigue from working long hours can make simple mistakes with catastrophic consequences. Defective equipment on the vessel such as winches and lines can break. Skippers and crew members can be reluctant to put into port for necessary medical treatment. Vessels can prove to be unseaworthy and sink. Personal Injury attorney Marc June is familiar with all causes.
Specific laws govern maritime accident claims. These include the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA), the Longshore Harbor Workers Compensaion Act, and the maritime doctrine of unseaworthiness, maintenance, unearned wages, and cure. Short term relief may be available from the Alaska Fisherman's Fund. Experienced Anchorage personal injury attorney Marc June knows the law and the remedies available to injured commercial fishermen.
