I was just talking to my friend and she was crying on the phone as we speak as her brother had an accident while on board the ship where he is working. It is clearly the negligence of his brother’s employer that led to the accident.
My dad worked as seaman for more than twenty years. He is retired now but I remember similar stories that my dad used to tell us that happened to some of his co-maritime workers. I was lucky that my dad did not had any accidents while he is working but he told us that when an accident happened to one of his colleagues on board the ship, his colleague filed a maritime lawsuit against the shipping company. The lawyers provided by the law firm were able to help my dad’s co-maritime workers to file claims against the shipping company.
There are a number of laws that states that families of maritime workers are entitled for financial support especially if the accident happened while at work. I think filing a lawsuit against the shipping company is the best option that my friend’s family has to do.
