Westport is known for its commercial fishing, a terrific marina and important maritime history. We have clients who work in the Alaska fishery, but live in Westport; we also have clients who work in the Washington / Oregon fishery, including charter fishing, and come to us as a result of maritime injury along the Washington / Oregon coast.



Our Westport representation includes Ocean Shores to the north, and the Long Beach peninsula to the south. We are currently representing a client in the United States District Court in Seattle on a matter arising from tug / barging operations in the Tokeland area. The maritime industry in the Westport area includes both oceangoing vessels and inland waters, including tug and barge operations on inland rivers.



Injuries at sea include persons working aboard vessels and inland waters. Many maritime workers injured on inland waters can qualify for federal benefits as Jones Act / general maritime law seamen, and many such cases are more appropriately filed in Federal Court in Seattle. Also, many maritime employers operating in the greater Westport area, including Ocean Shores and the Long Beach peninsula, as well as on inland waters, are either based in Seattle or have significant operations, including claims adjustment representatives, in Seattle.



In appropriate circumstances, we will meet with a client in Westport or the greater Westport area, and have often done so over the past many years. Also, we have assisted some of our clients in obtaining second medical opinions in Seattle so as to benefit from the latest medical technology.
