When you’re a merchant seaman, fisherman, or other maritime enthusiast, you don’t typically expect your career to end in tragedy. Unfortunately, sustaining a maritime injury can dramatically impact your life – especially without the representation of an expert maritime law firm like Latti Associates LLC.
Serving individuals in the Stonington, Maine area, Latti Associates LLC offers top-ranked legal counsel and support for maritime injury victims. When you trust our expert maritime attorneys with your case, you can be assured we’re fighting for the compensation you deserve – always.
Stonington is one of Maine’s busiest working waterfronts, and the people here spend long hours on vessels of every kind. From commercial fishing boats heading out before sunrise to cargo ships, container ships, tug boats, and barges moving through the area, the work is steady and demanding. Many residents also rely on ferry transportation, recreation boating, and ongoing dredging projects that keep the harbor accessible year-round. With all this activity, injuries on the water are more common than most people realize, and when they happen, the impact on a worker and their family can be overwhelming.
At Latti Associates LLC, we’ve spent more than 60 years helping maritime workers who are dealing with serious injuries such as amputation, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, and maritime deaths. We know these cases require more than general personal injury experience. Maritime law follows its own set of rules, and the outcome of a claim often depends on having attorneys who understand how those rules apply to vessels, ports, and navigable waters. Our team focuses on maritime and Jones Act cases nationwide, and we bring that experience to the Stonington community when workers need it most.
In the Stonington area, we frequently see injuries tied to:
Gear failures, rope and line accidents, and heavy-equipment mishaps on commercial fishing vessels
Crush injuries, falls, and collisions involving tug boats, barges, cargo ships, and container ships
Passenger injuries, crew accidents, and unsafe vessel conditions on ferry routes and recreation boating outings
Worksite hazards connected to coastal and harbor dredging operations
We know how strong, skilled, and hardworking Stonington crews are, and we take pride in standing up for them when something goes wrong. Our attorneys take the time to understand what led to the accident, gather evidence quickly, and push back when employers or insurers try to minimize what happened. Whether you’re a deckhand, engineer, captain, passenger, or family member seeking answers, our goal is to fight for the financial recovery and support you need to move forward.
