Hawaii Maritime Accident Lawyer

Maritime Injury Lawsuits in Hawaii

As the only state comprised solely of islands, Hawaii depends on its maritime industry, seamen, and longshore workers to keep our islands operational. And while maritime workers may be compensated well, they face significant risks of injury or death simply by nature of their work.

If you or someone you love were injured at a port, on a vessel, or in another maritime setting, Bostwick & Peterson, LLP can review your case and discuss how we may be able to help you fight for a financial recovery. We also fight for victims injured in cruise ship and recreational tour boat accidents.

• Our firm has recovered over $1 billion in compensation for clients.
• We’ve won record-setting results in California, Hawaii, Colorado, and other states.
• We’ve earned U.S. News’ “Best Law Firms” highest Tier 1 rating.

Whether you were injured in Hawaii waters, Honolulu Harbor, Sand Island, Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor, Kewalo Basin, Kahului Harbor, or Hilo Harbor, our maritime accident attorneys are here to help. Call or contact us online for a FREE consultation.

Maritime Accident Cases We Handle

Bostwick & Peterson is led by two of the nation’s most respected trial lawyers: James S. Bostwick, an invited member of the Inner Circle of Advocates (an exclusive group of the nation’s 100 best plaintiffs’ lawyers) and Erik L. Peterson, who has successfully tried Maritime cases and is listed in Hawaii Super Lawyers® and The Best Lawyers in America.

Together, our Partners leverage decades of experience to help clients fight for full financial recoveries in a range of complex claims. This includes maritime cases involving:

• Jones Act claims
• Longshore worker injuries
• Port facility accidents
• Cruise ship accidents
• Crane, forklift, and other dangerous machinery
• Falling objects or cargo
• Negligent ship / vessel maintenance
• Unseaworthiness claims
• Failure to pay maintenance and cure benefits
• Construction accidents
• Tour boat, catamaran, diving boat, and passenger injuries
• Defective products

The risks of longshore work and working on ships are well known, which is why federal maritime law ensures that these workers have the right to recover financial compensation when they are hurt on the job. However, not all lawyers are experienced in handling maritime claims and not every maritime lawyer has the resources to take on powerful companies that do everything they can to pay less.

At Bostwick & Peterson, we’re equipped with the tools to help injured longshore workers, seamen, and others in the maritime industry fight back after being injured on the job.
