Abogado de accidentes de barcaza

Accidentes de barcaza

El abogado de lesiones en la barcaza de California, Preston Easley, ayuda a las víctimas de accidentes de barcazas a recolectar daños del propietario del barco, su capitán o incluso de la tripulación.

Puede pensar que algo tan grande, pesado y lento como una barcaza representaría un riesgo relativamente menor para su tripulación y las tripulaciones de otros barcos, pero este no es necesariamente el caso. Una vez que el principal medio de transporte fluvial en los Estados Unidos, las barcazas ahora se utilizan principalmente para enviar mercancías baratas a granel por los ríos y canales de la nación (ya que las barcazas son, con mucho, la alternativa más barata para el transporte marítimo). Algunas barcazas pequeñas son autopropulsadas, pero las barcazas más grandes deben ser jaladas o empujadas por equipos de remolcadores. Esta no es una tarea pequeña; ¡una barcaza completamente cargada puede pesar más de 500 toneladas!

El hecho es que, en comparación con otros modos de transporte marítimo, las barcazas son relativamente seguras. Dicho esto, hay dos formas principales en las que un trabajador portuario o un miembro de la tripulación puede resultar herido en una barcaza o por la misma. Primero, la barcaza debe ser cargada y descargada por estibadores; izar y maniobrar contenedores de transporte de varias toneladas puede ser un trabajo muy peligroso. En segundo lugar, no es raro que las tripulaciones de los remolcadores se lesionen mientras remolcan barcazas, ya sea debido a colisiones con la barcaza o contratiempos cuando los marineros se suben a la barcaza para asegurarla al remolcador.

El abogado de accidentes marítimos Preston Easley se graduó de la Academia Naval de los Estados Unidos en Annapolis, Maryland. Puede confiar en su experiencia en derecho marítimo para proteger sus derechos. Contáctelo hoy para una consulta gratuita sobre su caso.

SIRVIENDO A HAWAII Y CALIFORNIA

Si usted o un ser querido ha resultado herido en un accidente de barcaza, la Ley Jones le da derecho a cobrar daños al propietario del barco, su capitán o incluso a otros miembros de la tripulación, si se puede demostrar que su imprudencia o negligencia ha contribuido a la percance. Como mínimo, sus facturas médicas y sus gastos de manutención deben estar cubiertos mientras se recupera de sus lesiones; en el peor de los casos, es posible que tenga derecho a recuperar daños importantes: una decisión imprudente por parte del capitán de la barcaza, por ejemplo, o una prueba de condiciones peligrosas en la propia barcaza, como productos químicos tóxicos almacenados o asegurados incorrectamente.
