About
Founded 1977
At BoatLaw, LLP, we specialize in legal representation for maritime accidents. Our focus encompasses a range of maritime injury claims, including those related to PTSD, amputations, head trauma, repetitive stress injuries and hazardous workplace conditions. We proudly assist accident survivors and their families across the West Coast—from Washington to California—including Alaska. Understanding the financial strain that workplace incidents can have on families is at the forefront of our mission; thus we strive tirelessly to help clients secure justice against negligent employers. Our team combines decades of extensive expertise with sophisticated trial strategies specifically tailored for victims under both the Jones Act and Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act.
David Anderson leads our firm with over 30 years dedicated solely to representing injured crew members aboard vessels—securing successful outcomes in a multitude of cases along the way. Partnering alongside him is Gordon Carey who brings an impressive 40-year background in advocating for client compensation within this niche area of law. Additionally joining us as a partner is Douglas Williams whose refined litigation skills enhance our capability when building robust cases for injured seamen throughout Washington State. Nicholas Neidzwski also plays a key role at our firm as he oversees various maritime personal injury litigations while bringing his vast experience from successful negotiations on behalf of diverse individuals and enterprises alike.
