What Makes a Maritime Lawsuit Against Marquette Transportation Successful?

Imagine you’re working aboard a tugboat for Marquette Transportation. The equipment fails because it hasn’t been maintained properly, and you suffer a serious injury. Now you’re unable to work, unsure if you will ever work again, facing mounting medical bills, and it isn’t clear where you should turn. Situations like this happen all too often, and at VB Attorneys, we’ve successfully handled numerous cases against Marquette Transportation and similar large corporations to secure justice for injured maritime workers.

The Jones Act: Your New Best Friend

The Jones Act is a cornerstone of maritime law, protecting injured seamen by allowing them to sue their employer for negligence. To win a lawsuit against Marquette Transportation, you’ll need to show that unsafe conditions, poor training, or faulty equipment directly contributed to your injury. Our firm has experience gathering the crucial evidence needed—whether it’s maintenance logs, eyewitness accounts, or expert testimony—to build a strong case on your behalf​.

Gathering and Preserving Evidence

Evidence can make or break your case. Medical records, safety reports, photos of unsafe conditions, and incident reports all play a vital role. At VB Attorneys, we understand how to collect and present this evidence effectively to highlight negligence by companies like Marquette Transportation. Time is critical, as employers often attempt to shift blame or minimize your injuries, so contacting legal counsel promptly is essential​.

Maintenance and Cure: Your Employer’s Obligation

Under maritime law, your employer must provide "maintenance and cure"—basic living expenses and medical treatment—until you’ve reached maximum recovery. If Marquette Transportation fails to fulfill this obligation or delays your benefits, you may be entitled to additional damages. We’ve seen firsthand how companies try to avoid their responsibilities, and we fight to ensure injured workers get the support they deserve​.
