Catastrophic Injury Claims

Working Hard to Obtain Full Compensation for People Who Suffer Catastrophic Injuries at Sea

Violent storms, powerful currents, hazards to navigation, ever-present human error, and other factors, have long combined to make for accidents at sea. These accidents often result in catastrophic personal injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, paralysis, nerve damage, burns and amputation.

In these cases, a fast, cheap and easy settlement will almost certainly never be enough. To give yourself the best chance of recovering full compensation, you will want to contact an experienced attorney who has had proven success with these types of maritime claims.

At Seattle Maritime Attorneys we know that when a person suffers a catastrophic injury their life and the lives of those who love them are profoundly and permanently changed. Because of that, we focus not only on the needs of the person injured, but also on the needs of the whole family. And in even the most challenging cases we have handled over the years, the experience we bring and the approach we take have combined to produce results that give our clients the resources they need to rebuild.
