Ferries are often operated by governmental entities, such as the Washington State Ferries. As such, they must be handled with due regard for sovereign immunity. Anderson Connell & Carey have represented numerous ferry workers with success. For example, the firm represented a cook aboard a Washington State ferry who slipped on grease on the car deck. The defendant asserted that the worker was in the wrong area. During trial the defendant offered the sum of $45,000, which was refused by our client. The jury awarded $210,000 plus costs. Both ferry workers and passengers can be injured while on the vessel. If you have been injured on a ferry, its is important that you have an attorney who is experienced in maritime law.
