Telephone: 1-800-SEASALT (1-800-732-7258).
Juneau
is extremely important to the maritime industry, especially fishing
and seining, salmon tending and small to medium size fishery. Additionally,
many important records relating to fishing claims, accidents and injuries
are kept in Juneau, as are important Coast Guard records.
We have many clients based in, around and about Juneau. Also, we often
access to records kept in Juneau, especially Alaska Workers Compensation
claim records for fishermen, and second injury fund records. Sometimes,
injuries at sea or maritime related injuries in fishing are processed
as Alaska Workers Compensation claims through Juneau, when they are
more appropriately handled as Jones Act / general maritime claims.
For information on the differences between workers compensation claims
and the rights of a person injured at sea or in a maritime situation
covered by The Jones Act or general maritime law, see "How
Claims Processing Works" at this Web site.
In appropriate circumstances, we will meet with clients in Juneau,
and dispatch experts, including marine safety experts, for accident
investigation. In appropriate cases, we will also obtain copies of
workers compensation records relating to accident or injury if a seaman,
or claimant who has rights under The Jones Act or general maritime
law, has a previously existing workers compensation file. We will
meet with a client at the address listed above, or a client's residence,
depending upon the case.
Call us for a no-obligation initial
telephone consultation.

answer every e-mail personally within 6 hours
