Seamen are certainly treated more fairly than they were 100 years ago. However, working on the water remains one of the most dangerous occupations. Employees face serious risks every time they are at sea, and an employer’s negligence compounds the chance of injuries. If you suffered a maritime injury or illness, our lawyers work to hold your employer accountable.
After you worked hard — possibly far from home for long periods of time — your employer’s failure to pay rightful wages places a heavy burden on you and your family. Our Baton Rouge maritime attorneys demand full payment of wages and overtime.
