Our Commitment to Union & Non-Union Seamen

Jeffery Campiche and his team have successfully represented dozens of union and non-union seamen who were killed, injured, or disabled in the service of towboat companies, state ferries, fishing vessels, and research vessels throughout the Pacific Ocean, Puget Sound, and Columbia River. 

  • He has successfully presented seaman’s claims for damages in state and federal courts throughout the West Coast. This includes longshoremen, dockworkers, fishermen, tugboat crew, and research vessel crew.
  • Jeffery Campiche is a recognized “expert” in maritime law and federal and state trial court practice and has had the occasion to teach other attorneys federal and state maritime injury practice. 
  • He has devoted his career to protecting the seaman’s rights to compensation, wage loss, maintenance and cure, wage payment through the voyage, and loss of income and pain and suffering in Jones Act and Seaworthiness claims. 
  • Recovery for our maritime clients and their families has ranged from thousands to multimillion-dollar recoveries.
  • Listing the numerous maritime cases would fill entire pages. Suffice it to say that Jeffery Campiche and this firm have enjoyed the respect and support of the maritime union and fishing communities. Recognizing that seamen and fishermen need a lawyer whenever they are injured at sea, our policy is that no seaman’s or fisherman’s question or case is too small or too grave for our firm. 
  • We help maritime workers, whether tug boaters, fishermen, longshoremen, or dock workers. 

Here are but a few of our successful cases.

Respecting our client’s privacy and the confidentiality of many of the settlement agreements, we have not included clients’ names or the names of the at-fault parties.
