Blue Water Legal helps injured maritime workers with claims under the Longshore & Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, the Defense Base Act and Jones Act.
Blue Water Legal PLLC focuses on helping injured workers with claims arising under the Longshore & Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, the Defense Base Act and maritime injury claims (include the Jones Act). These workers are faced by legal issues not present in many other workers' compensation systems, and they need legal representation who understands these issues.
Blue Water Legal recognizes the unique role workers play in their families and society as a whole. Therefore, we strive to provide legal services dedicated to help these workers cope with their injuries. We do this by emphasizing (1) timely advice so workers can prepare for the delays their families face in pursuing their legal rights; (2) understanding the worker’s needs and what benefits are important to them ; and (3) aiding the worker in creating a meaningful litigation strategy focused on the workers goals.
