What Are the Most Common Maritime Work Injuries?

Injuries serious enough to require representation include:

  • Head and Brain Injuries: These can range from concussions to traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
  • Back Injuries: Strains, sprains, and chronic back pain.
  • Slip and Fall Injuries: Falls can lead to fractures, sprains, or head injuries.
  • Crush or Amputation Injuries: Debilitating injuries often affecting hands, feet, and limbs.
  • Burns: Exposure to hot surfaces, chemicals, or fire hazards can result in burns of varying degrees.
  • Exposure Injuries: Respiratory harm caused by hazardous exposure to dangerous substances or poor air quality. 
  • Drowning and Near-Drowning Incidents: Accidents at sea can lead to drowning-related incidents that cause serious injuries or fatalities.
  • Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSIs): Injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by repetitive motions like rope handling.

These injuries can impede your ability to earn a living, and rob you of your enjoyment of life. Compensation can help you heal properly or retire from maritime work with dignity.

A Shocking Discovery: Depo-Provera and Brain Tumors

Depo-Provera is used by over 70 million women around the world as an affordable and reliable form of birth control and is used to treat other conditions, like endometriosis and anemia, among others. 

However, recent research has uncovered a disturbing connection between Depo-Provera and an increased risk of developing intracranial meningiomas — a type of brain tumor that can put your life in danger.

Depo-Provera lawsuits argue women who have used Depo-Provera for over a year are 5.6 times more likely to develop these tumors. 

While meningiomas are often non-cancerous, they can grow large and press dangerously against the brain and spine, causing debilitating and painful symptoms. In some cases, surgery or radiation are the only options for treating them.

Meningiomas develop slowly and may not be detected for years, allowing these tumors to silently wreak havoc on your brain before you even realize something is wrong. This delay is especially dangerous, as untreated tumors can lead to increased pressure on the brain, severe pain, and long-term health consequences.

“Pfizer’s failure to disclose the full range of risks linked to Depo-Provera robbed millions of women of their right to make informed decisions about their health and safety. This omission isn’t just a simple oversight—it’s a complete disregard for the trust we place in drug companies.

Our firm is determined to get justice for these women and fight for stronger protections in the drug market to stop this from happening to anyone else.”

  • Medical Expenses: A lawsuit can reimburse you for surgery to remove your tumor, radiation, hospital stays, doctor’s appointments, medical bills, and therapy. 

  • Lost Wages: Surgery can take a lot out of you, leaving you unable to work, but a lawsuit can cover lost wages for the time you were unable to work.

  • Pain and Suffering: A tumor can be a taxing and frightening complication, so a lawsuit can get you financial support for the physical and emotional pain you experienced. 

  • Punitive Damages: This compensation aims to punish the company for its actions and may be ordered when individuals/companies knowingly place dangerous drugs on the market.
