Truck Wrecks & Collisions
Because of its size and weight, a truck collision can cause an exorbitant amount of damage to person and property—much more so than a typical automobile wreck. There are strict regulations governing truck drivers and their employers, but these individuals often violate and ignore the law. Bowen Painter Trial Lawyers skillfully navigates complicated, high-dollar truck collision settlements involving complex issues and multiple at-fault parties.

Longshoreman/Jones Act Injuries
The Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA) protects workers by guaranteeing compensation and medical care for employees who become disabled from injuries that may occur when loading, unloading, repairing or building a seafaring vessel, or in other circumstances. The Jones Act protects the seamen and women who risk their health and lives at sea and in other waters by guaranteeing compensation for injuries that result in physical and mental pain and suffering, bodily disfigurement, and wrongful death. Bowen Painter Trial Lawyers fights for clients’ rights and work hard to find all insurance to ensure maximum compensation.

River Dredge Injuries
Like workers on many types of vessels, dredge workers put their health and lives on the line every day just to earn a living. When injuries occur, the law requires employers to pay “Maintenance and Cure” benefits, which pay for medical care for injured workers and reimburse lost wages. But sometimes injuries result from employers’ negligence, entitling the worker to even more compensation than mere “Maintenance and Cure.” Dredge workers may also be covered seamen and women under the Jones Act. But filing a lawsuit under the Jones Act may not be the best way to protect a worker’s rights. Only experienced maritime injury attorneys will be able to fully investigate the facts surrounding a worker’s injury and then litigate a claim successfully. Bowen Painter Trial Lawyers fights for clients’ rights and work hard to find all insurance to ensure maximum compensation.

Workplace Injuries
Nobody should have to worry about their personal safety or security when they show up to work to earn their living and provide for their family. But because of companies’ negligence (often due to deliberate efforts to cut costs), employees often become injured while on the job and become victims of the very companies who should be taking care of them. At Bowen Painter Trial Lawyers, we know how to find all potential insurance. We fight vigorously for our clients’ rights because we know standard worker’s compensation insurance alone often does not come close to making a victim whole again.
