Our yacht crew injury attorneys have represented deckhands to masters over the years seeking just compensation for their accidents. The attorneys at Brais Law Firm know that yacht crew do not have an easy job. Demanding owners oftentimes require long working hours and many times the yachts are not fitted with properly working equipment. This oftentimes leads to accidents and injuries. Injuries and deaths which occur on yachts are typically a result of:

  • Slippery surfaces
  • Unseaworthy decks
  • Poorly maintained or broken equipment
  • Line handling accidents
  • Understaffing
  • Improper deployed gangways
  • Insufficiently trained co-workers
  • Inadequate railings
  • Failure to provide prompt, proper or adequate medical treatment
  • Dock collisions
  • Working excessive hours

Yacht owners are represented by attorneys appointed by their insurance companies. These attorneys are paid to obtain the best result for the owners and the insurance companies and not necessarily looking out for the injured crew member. Retaining qualified representation is imperative if you or a loved one suffered a serious injury on a yacht.
