Tow boat deckhands, deck engineers and mates can suffer serious head and back injuries or loss of limbs while hooking or unhooking barges in tows.

A towboat deckhand can get a limb caught in a mooring cable or get knocked overboard if a barge breaks away because it was not properly moored.
A fleeting operation has a responsibility to prevent barges from breaking out of fleets or from sinking within fleets. A seaman may be injured by an unsecured barge because a towboat crew failed to make sure that the remaining barges were properly moored A barge owner may have delivered an unseaworthy barge.

Seafood from the Gulf of Mexico feeds our nation. Most of us are unaware of how commercial fishing is hazardous work, and fishermen and shrimpers face risks daily of falling on slippery decks, being injured by faulty equipment, or having a hand or foot crushed or amputated in accidents as they go about their jobs. Maritime injuries are all too common.
According to a federal report, more than 100 commercial fishermen died in the Gulf of Mexico from 2000 to 2009, including many from falls overboard and from traumatic head injuries and other on-board injuries. Unfortunately, commercial shrimpers were involved in a high percentage of fatal and serious injury accidents.
Many commercial fishing vessel accidents could have been prevented if the boat owner had been more attuned to providing a proper vessel, insisting upon careful equipment maintenance, and to having a properly trained crew. Talk to experienced Venice maritime attorneys who have a thorough understanding of the federal Fishing Vessel Safety Act and how it applies to your accident, if you have been injured through the carelessness of a vessel owner or another crew member.
