Shipyard Accidents

For decades, our shipyard injury lawyers have represented injured repair workers, shipyard workers and other maritime workers injured at shipyards in Seattle, Tacoma, Everett and other shipyards in Washington and Alaska. We represent shipyard workers injured by the negligence or unsafe practices of third-party companies or their employees or in product liability claims for defective equipment. Because of our decades of experience in shipyard injury cases, we understand the complex, multiple employer work that takes place in shipyards and how to obtain an injured worker the compensation necessary to provide hope and dignity following a serious injury in a shipyard. Whether your injury occurred due to an unsafe condition created by another employer on the job site or the unsafe practices of another company, our lawyers can sort out the complex issues that shipyard injury cases present. We offer a free consultation for injured shipyard workers and repair workers and have collected millions over the years for injured workers.

If you work in a shipyard, you already know that shipyards often have multiple employers working on various parts of a project. Following an injury, it is important to get medical attention as soon as possible to evaluate and treat your injuries. You have a right to select your own doctor and get proper medical care for your injuries. It is important that you fill out an accident report for your employer as soon as possible following an injury to document the claim. In the report, make certain to document the cause of your injury and the contact information for all witnesses. What unsafe condition caused your injury? Did a product or equipment fail? Was an employee of another company responsible for your injury? What other companies worked in the area and what were the other companies doing in that area? Who was responsible for the overall jobsite? Were safety regulations violated? These are all questions that will become important when looking at whether you can assert a claim for an injury at a shipyard. If you have questions about whether you have a third-party claim following an injury at a shipyard, contact one of our award-winning shipyard injury at attorneys at 206.624.8844 for a free consultation.

If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a shipyard accident, it is important that you select a maritime injury law firm that has specific experience handling shipyard injury cases and understands the legal issues presented by these multiple employer work sites.
