“I am very grateful to Rob Kornfeld and his paralegal for the many months they invested in my personal injury/worker's compensation case. Without his knowledge and dedication, the case may not have gone so well.. I was hit head-on, while working as a bus driver. My ex-employer, being self-insured, cancelled my needed second rotator surgery, deliberately removed me from my job, with the admitted intent to fire me when my FMLA expired, and then wanted to keep a lien on my personal injury settlement. Mr. Kornfeld's knowledge, experience and determination paid off, and I am very grateful to he and his paralegal, Dawn, for being so tolerant of my fears, anxieties, and numerous emails to them, during these harsh economic uncertainties of being injured and un-employed. I am still un-employed, but many thanks to Mr. Kornfeld, I now have the faith I will survive this horrific experience. I highly recommend Rob Kornfeld to any and all injured bus drivers who face the same self-injured suffering.”

Crews are often required to work under onerous and hazardous conditions in hopes of increasing the vessel’s revenues, which can be exceedingly risky for all of those involved. These conditions can lead to serious injuries, property damage, and may even cause fatalities. In short, asking a worker to continue working in hazardous circumstances is dangerous, careless and negligent. If you were injured because of the negligence of an employer or an operator and owner of any type of sea-going vessel, or any condition aboard the vessel is an “unseaworthy” condition aboard the vessel (this is a legal term of art Rob can explain to you), you may have a Jones Act claim.
