Prominent Bay Area Accident Lawyers After being in an accident caused by someone else's negligence, you have the right to expect fair compensation for your medical costs, lost earnings and losses from property damage. Many victims of negligence accidents are surprised to learn that insurance companies will do everything possible to minimize the amount of money damages they pay. Feelings of isolation, frustration and confusion about what steps to take to get a voice for justice are not uncommon.

Filing a wrongful death lawsuit for a death occurring in an industrial accident on land is not at all the same as a claim for death on the high seas or a Jones Act wrongful death claim. Our firm offers the specific experience, knowledge and skills to help you get the maximum compensation your family needs. When death occurs on the high seas, there may be limitations on the amount that surviving family members can sue the ship owner for damages.

Don't let yourself become frustrated or confused by the myriad complex maritime laws regarding filing a successful claim under Jones Act laws. Talk to a member of our Jones Act claims litigation at the Law Offices of Lyle C. Cavin, Jr. & Associates in Oakland, California. For more than 40 years, we have been recognized as one of the foremost admiralty law litigation firms in the nation.

Harassed Aboard a Vessel The merchant fleet and commercial industry has always presented a macho image. Crew members who don't quite make the grade in terms of masculinity or skills are subject to withering sarcasm and psychological harassment. Women and gay crew members are particularly susceptible to sexual harassment that is just as illegal on a vessel as it is in a factory. Ship owners have a legal responsibility under U.S. admiralty and civil rights law to protect their ship-board employees from harassment.
