Every day, dozens of ships carrying all types of cargo enter through the Port of San Francisco on the western edge of the San Francisco Bay. The fishermen, maritime laborers and dock workers that work on or alongside the ships and vessels are essential to the industry. Jobs in the maritime industry are not without risk. Maritime accidents and injuries are relatively common, and may result in catastrophic injury or even death.
Following any San Francisco maritime accident, injured workers should work with an experienced and knowledgeable San Francisco maritime injury attorney. A skilled lawyer who specializes in port, harbor and maritime accidents can advise victims and their families of their legal rights and options, and the laws that are in place to protect injured maritime workers, Jones Act and the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA).
