Boston, MA Maritime Work
Massachusetts and the entire East Coast serve as a significant gateway between the US and the rest of the world for commercial, waterborne trade. Boston, one of the oldest cities in the United States, is home to the Port of Boston, the oldest active port in the United States. With facilities capable of handling containerized cargo, vacation cruise lines, and Boston’s commercial fishing fleet, the Port of Boston remains at the center of the maritime industry, generating over 34 thousand jobs.
The fishing industry is just one of the many lucrative industries present in Boston Harbor today. The Port of Boston’s Fish Pier plays hosts to more than 15 fishing boats on a daily basis. Although commercial fishing is considered the most dangerous profession in the United States, New Englanders continue to pursue this line of work to support their livelihood. Boston’s fisherman are routinely exposed to the elements and charged with operating heavy equipment. It is unfortunate that the negligent or reckless actions of a supervisor, crew member or ship owner add to the dangerous nature of maritime work.
All too often maritime workers suffer serious offshore injuries because their crewmembers were improperly trained or failed to follow safety procedures. If you have been injured in an offshore accident, you may be entitled to recover for your damages including medical expenses, future lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish as well as travel and living expenses.
