Barge accident injury
We know the laws relating to barge accident injuries
By monitoring developments in offshore and maritime injury law, Attorney Gee knows how to strategize a case for barge accident injury victims. You deserve justice!
Unlike other types of commercial boats and vessels, barges typically don't have large crews. But barge workers generally are covered by the Jones Act. In some cases, general maritime tort law related to the negligence of the barge operator may apply (for example, a barge operator who fails to address conditions that could clearly lead to an accident and injury).
Even if you are partly at fault for the accident, you may still be able to collect a significant settlement. The following workers may sustain injuries in barge accidents:
- Seamen
- Longshoremen
- Crane operators
- Service hands
- Anchor handlers
- Dredge boat workers

Barge crewmen and workers are subject to many of the same risks and dangers as other offshore workers. Injuries from barge accidents are often caused by negligent and inattentive vessel operators as well as unseaworthy conditions, such as defective equipment or poorly trained crew members. Workers on barges are generally covered by the same laws and provided the same remedies as other offshore and maritime workers.
