Fishermen and Seamen have many legal rights when they are injured while working on a vessel. If you are injured you the the right to "CURE". Cure is the right to have your medical expenses paid by your employer. Your medical expenses will be paid until you have reached maximum medical recovery, you have the right to have "MAINTENANCE". Maintenance is the right to have your food and lodging paid to you at a per day rate. Usually your employment contract will specify the per day rate; otherwise, it is the employer's daily cost of food and lodging you would receive aboard the vessel while recovering from your injury or illness. An injured worker may recover unearned wages until the end of the fishing season, the end of the employment contract, or the end of the voyage. All of the above legal rights belong to you regardless of fault or unseaworthiness of the vessel. Call our law office anytime including weekends and evenings, and we can help you.
