Fulweiler llc Secures Settlement in Wrongful Death Lawsuit Involving Lobsterman
Working as a lobsterman is dangerous. The moving trawl lines on deck can ensnare the crew and drag them overboard. And this is what happened to our client; a young man with a lot of promise. It shouldn't have happened. We represented his Estate and despite a vigorous effort to use the maritime law to limit the recovery, an amicable resolution was reached. (That's all we're allowed to say!)
The Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA) provides crucial legal remedies for families who have lost loved ones due to wrongful acts, negligence, or unseaworthiness occurring beyond three nautical miles from U.S. shores. Under DOHSA, families can seek compensation for financial losses, including lost support and funeral expenses. At Fulweiler llc, our experienced maritime attorneys specialize in navigating DOHSA claims. We offer compassionate, expert legal representation to ensure families receive the maximum compensation they deserve. (They call if FULL JUSTICE.) From evidence collection to settlement negotiations and court representation, Fulweiler llc is dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for our clients. If you need assistance with a DOHSA claim, contact Fulweiler llc today for a consultation.
