Lawyers With Nearly 50 Years of Proven Success on
Behalf of Injured Seamen and Passengers
Have you been injured while working or traveling at sea? If you have, it is important to realize that your legal claims will be governed by maritime laws such as the Jones Act and not by the standard personal injury laws that apply on land.
Seattle Maritime Attorneys is a collaborative venture by sole practitioners John Merriam and Gordon Webb — two dedicated legal advocates who have nearly 50 years of combined experience with maritime and admiralty law claims. We are not a partnership in the typical law firm sense, but we have been working together on cases like yours for many years. Our focus on this area of the law and hands-on experience working at sea and on the waterfront have enabled us to help thousands of people across the country.
We are confident that we can help you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries as well. Contact our maritime law firm today to schedule a free initial consultation.
