Salmon Vessel Claims

Salmon seine and driftnet vessel deckhands are seamen entitled to the protections of the Jones Act and the general maritime law. If you work on the deck of a salmon vessel, you can rest assured that our attorneys will make sure you receive all the damages available to you; including no-fault maintenance, cure and unearned wages – and damages under the Jones Act and for unseaworthiness; including damages for lost income, pain and suffering, and medical costs.

Whether salmon fishing in Bristol Bay, Cook Inlet, Southeast Alaska, Prince William Sound, in the waters off Kodiak Island or Chignik, deckhands working aboard salmon fishing vessels have one thing in common – their work is hard and fast, often requiring them to work long hours and in rough seas. Whether running a seine skiff, stacking net, working the block and davit, or round hauling a driftnet aboard, deckhand work on salmon vessels requires constant attention and little room for error.
