Maritime accidents afflict thousands of workers and tourists each year. Whether you’re a seaman who’s been injured on the job or an individual who has sustained a maritime injury during a recreational trip, Latti Associates LLC can help.
Serving Reedville, Virginia and surrounding areas, Latti Associates LLC provides legal counsel, support, and advocacy for victims of maritime injuries. We have pursued compensation for clients who have been injured due to acts of negligence or unseaworthiness of a vessel.
Reedville has a long history of hardworking watermen, and the community still depends heavily on the maritime industry today. Local crews work on everything from busy fishing vessels to larger commercial operations involving cargo ships, container ships, tug boats, and barges. The area also sees plenty of recreation boating, seasonal ferry use, and steady dredging projects along the Chesapeake Bay. With so much activity on the water, injuries are unfortunately part of the reality for many workers, and when they happen, the aftermath can turn life upside down.
Latti Associates LLC has spent more than 60 years representing maritime workers under the Jones Act and other maritime laws. Whether someone is facing an amputation, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or dealing with the loss of a loved one due to maritime deaths, we understand the pressure placed on families during these moments. Maritime cases are very different from standard personal injury claims. The rules, deadlines, and requirements under the Jones Act and general maritime law can be confusing, and many injured workers don’t realize how much compensation they’re actually entitled to.
In Reedville and the surrounding waters, we often help workers who were injured due to:
Line snapbacks, gear failures, and heavy-equipment problems on commercial fishing boats
Unsafe work conditions, falls, or mechanical breakdowns on tug boats, barges, cargo ships, and container ships
Passenger or crew injuries linked to recreation boating or ferry travel
Accidents during channel and shoreline dredging operations
One of the things we frequently hear from clients is how overwhelming everything becomes once employers or insurance companies start asking questions. People feel pressured to give statements or accept low offers before they even understand their rights. That’s exactly when having a law firm that focuses on maritime and Jones Act cases makes a difference. Our team investigates what happened onboard, gathers the information needed to build a strong claim, and handles the communication so you can focus on recovering.
For generations, Reedville workers have built their lives on the water. When something goes wrong, you deserve a team that understands the industry, respects the work you do, and knows how to fight for the compensation you need to move forward.
