VB Lawyers File Lawsuit Against Sealift, Inc. For Chief Mate Injured On Container Ship In Dubai.

The chief mate on a Sealift, Inc. container ship was seriously injured during operations at port in Dubai. His injuries include two shattered heels and a spine injury, involving multiple surgeries.

The chief mate, who resides in Florida, retained the Houston-based Maritime Team at VB Lawyers to file a Jones Act lawsuit on his behalf (because the Chief Mate was a Jones Act Seaman, he has important and valuable legal rights under the Jones Act). VB Maritime Lawyer Vuk Vujasinovic filed the chief mate's lawsuit in New York, where Sealift has a hub of operations.

This Maritime Lawsuit alleges that Sealift was negligent, and that its containership was unseaworthy. In addition, the lawsuit claims the Chief Mate's full compensation for maintenance and cure benefits.

This case is pending.
