Maritime work is dangerous and risky. Defective equipment, poor safety procedures, or heavy seas can cause serious injury or wrongful death.

  • It can be difficult to deal with a wrongful death claim. At our Baton Rouge, Louisiana, law firm, we will handle the details and help you obtain financialcompensation to help your family through the loss you have suffered.
  • It is especially important to establish exactly where a maritime death occurred. The Death on the High Seas Act provides fewer types of compensation and only applies to deaths that occur outside of state waters.

If a family member has died in a fatal maritime or offshore or river or lake accident, tell us about it. We will make sure you understand the laws and your rights under wrongful death laws and death on the high seas statutes. You do not have to deal with this alone.
