Maritime Accident Attorney in Las Vegas

Full-Spectrum Maritime Injury Representation for Workers & Boating Accident Victims

Maritime injuries involve a level of legal complexity that most personal injury firms aren't built to handle. The landscape can involve federal admiralty law, Jones Act protections, overlapping statutes of limitations, and corporate defense teams that are backed by shipping and energy insurers. The wrong approach can cost you real money. At Cohan PLLC, we are led by seasoned trial attorney and Las Vegas native Chasen Cohan, and we represent people who have been hurt in recreational boating accidents on Lake Mead and the Colorado River, as well as maritime workers injured on vessels, offshore platforms, and oil rigs.

We prepare every case for trial from day one, because many maritime defendants and their insurers don't offer fair compensation to attorneys, not unless they know those attorneys can take them into a courtroom. Our firm serves clients throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and Enterprise, with consultations available in both English and Spanish. Every case is handled on a contingency fee basis: you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

If you or a family member suffered a maritime injury, call our team at (702) 623-3579 for a free, no-obligation case evaluation. We'll listen to what happened and explain your options at no cost.

Who We Represent in Maritime Injury Claims

Maritime law covers a wide range of people and situations. Whether you were on a weekend boat trip or working a 14-day offshore rotation, your injury may fall under federal admiralty jurisdiction. We represent:

• Recreational boating accident victims injured on Lake Mead, Lake Las Vegas, or the Colorado River due to operator negligence, defective equipment, or boating under the influence
• Jones Act seamen who spend a substantial part of their work time aboard a vessel in navigation and are injured by employer negligence or vessel unseaworthiness
• Offshore workers hurt on platforms, barges, and supply vessels due to unsafe conditions or equipment failures
• Oil rig accident victims who suffer catastrophic injuries from explosions, fires, falls, or mechanical failures on drilling platforms
• Dock, pier, and harbor workers whose injuries fall under federal admiralty law or the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act
• Cruise ship passengers and crew injured while aboard a vessel

If you're unsure where your situation fits, that's exactly what a free consultation is for. We can evaluate the facts and identify the legal framework that applies.

Why Injured Workers & Families in Las Vegas Trust Our Firm

Maritime injury claims pit you against shipping companies, offshore operators, vessel owners, and their well-funded defense teams. A volume firm processing hundreds of car accident cases a month isn't set up to counter that. Our structure means that Chasen Cohan can be directly involved in building your case, and you have a direct line to your attorney throughout the process. You're a person to us, not a file number.

What that looks like in practice:

• Trial-ready from the start. We build evidence, retain the right professionals, and construct a case narrative as if a jury will hear it.
• Local court knowledge. As a Las Vegas native, Chasen understands how local courts operate, how opposing defense teams in Nevada approach litigation, and how to make smart strategic decisions based on where each case will be heard.
• Bilingual access. We offer services in English and Spanish so language is never a barrier to quality legal representation.
• Zero financial risk. You pay nothing in attorney fees or costs unless we successfully recover compensation. No upfront bills, no hourly invoices.

Our track record in complex personal injury litigation has earned us referrals from other law firms and attorneys who recognize the value of trial-ready preparation. When another attorney trusts us with their client's maritime injury case, that says something about how we work.
