Accidents in Massachusetts Ports & Locations
Boston is home to several historic and working ports. The city’s largest port, the Port of Poston, is one of the busiest and most-important seaports on the Eastern Seaboard. From cargo ships to cruise ships, large vessels depart from and arrive at Boston Harbor daily—carrying billions of dollars in cargo and hundreds of thousands of passengers each year.
Unfortunately, Boston Harbor’s high volume of commercial boat traffic also means that the City on the Hill also sees more than its fair share of maritime accidents. At Brais Law Firm, we represent crewmembers, passengers and families who have been injured and lost loved ones on the water. We handle cases involving ships departing from and arriving at all ports and marinas in Boston, including:
- Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina
- Boston Waterboat Marina
- Constitution Marina
- Flynn Cruiseport Boston
- Paul W. Conley Container Terminal
- Port of Boston
- The Marina at Rowes Wharf
Attorneys for Victims of Cruise Ship Accidents in Boston, Massachusetts
Cruise ship accidents are alarmingly common. From fall overboard to accidents involving onboard amenities such as swimming pools and climbing walls, many of these accidents present risks for serious and life-threatening injuries. But, falls on deck and other relatively “minor” accidents can result in severe injuries as well, and each year numerous cruise passengers find themselves in need of experienced medical care and legal representation.
Due to its geographical location, Boston is a hub for cruising to destinations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Cruise lines, including Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Seabourn Cruise Line, currently visit or call the Port of Boston home. Cruises departing from Boston travel to locations including:
- Africa
- Bermuda
- Canada
- Caribbean
- Europe
- Greenland
- Iceland
- Panama Canal
- U.S. East Coast
