Icicle Seafoods Inc.

It is important to note that Icicle Seafoods’ insurance company does not work for you; they work for profit and make more of it when they deny or reduce your claim. When you have been injured on the job in a traditional industry, you would generally be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost earnings, and other damages through workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, which means that you can collect compensation even in some instances where you were the cause of the accident or incident that led to your injury. However, this is not the case with the work of seamen.

Liability for injuries to seamen is different as federal maritime law will often apply. This body of law generally requires that you prove the negligence of the employer in order to get compensation — meaning they had a responsibility to you that was breached, resulting in your accident and injury. The maritime lawyers at Brais Law Firm will carefully assess the facts and circumstances of your injuries and help to determine what laws apply. They will then measure your damages and seek to collect them through whatever means possible from the insurance company.
