We Know The Industry And The Law

The lawyers at Trueb Berne & Beard, LLP, understand how accidents happen aboard fish processing vessels. They have handled claims involving injuries caused by fish processing equipment, lifting injuries, ladder and stair accidents, defective equipment, unsafe work practice, repetitive use injuries, failure to properly train, negligence of fellow crewmen, and unseaworthy vessels.

In almost all cases injured Alaska fish processors are entitled to “maintenance and cure” benefits. With few exceptions, the vessel owner is required by law to pay for all your reasonable and necessary medical expenses associated with a shipboard injury. The vessel owner must also pay you a reasonable daily living allowance while you are recovering from your injury.

In addition to maintenance and cure benefits fish processors injured as a result of negligence or unseaworthiness are entitled to compensation for past and future lost wages, lost wage-earning capacity, psychological injuries, and pain and suffering.
