Jones Act Claims in Anchorage
Most maritime injury and death cases involve a Jones Act Claim.
The Jones Act was passed in 1920 to help injured seamen recover from their employers. Working on or around water can be very dangerous, and maritime workers have an increased risk of on-the-job injury.
As a result, the Jones Act provides special legal remedies to help ensure that injured seamen get appropriate compensation and care following an injury. The Jones Act can be very complex, which is why it is important to speak with the attorneys at BoatLaw, LLP, who are familiar with the issues and benefits of the Jones Act and can effectively represent your claim.

The Port of Alaska
Large portions of the local economy depend on Anchorage’s geographical location and surrounding natural resources. The Port of Alaska (formerly the Port of Anchorage) is a deep-water port that receives 85% of all goods destined for Alaska. Additionally, 74% of all waterborne freight and 95% of the refined petroleum products entering south central Alaska enter through the Port of Alaska. Port facilities include three cargo terminals and two petroleum terminals.
The port is distinguished from other types of municipal departments because it generates enough revenue to support its operations without being a burden to Anchorage taxpayers.
