Newport, Oregon Maritime Lawyer

Newport, OR Maritime Lawyer

Newport’s Maritime Industry

Newport, Oregon is known as the Dungeness Crab capital of the world. The historic bay front, bordering on the Pacific Ocean and the Yaquina Bay, is home to the Port of Newport, has a multitude of maritime activities to offer. Home to one of Oregon’s largest fishing fleets, it supports commercial and sport fishing, fish processing, shipping, tourism, recreation, and lumber and wood processing as the area’s major industries. Further, Newport has been the west coast home to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) since 2011.

Many of Newport’s residents work at sea or on the shoreline, contributing to the local, regional, and national economies and supporting the community at large. With the high risk of many of these positions taking place in dangerous waterways, the maritime employees of Newport deserve to be protected by the Jones Act and general maritime law in the event of a workplace accident.  Mariner Law, PLLC understands the importance of recovering compensation for your injuries and are available to discuss the facts of your injury. If you are entitled to compensation, an offshore lawyer can help you take steps to secure your interests.
