The Rivermen's Legal Network recently obtained a $10,000,000.00 settlement for a Cincinnati-area deckhand. The settlement is believed to be the largest of its kind. That is not to say your case is of the same value, but goes to show the quality of our work. Read all about it here. |
Legal Update The U.S Supreme Court in a recent decision has held that uninspected towing vessels are subject to the same OSHA regulations as land-based workplaces. This landmark decision should improve safety for rivermen everywhere. |
