The North Pacific’s Premier Maritime Injury Firm
Working on the water is a way of life in Alaska, but it comes with undeniable risks. Trueb Berne & Beard, LLP is a specialized law firm dedicated exclusively to representing injured seamen, fishermen, and maritime workers. With a main office in Anchorage, they are the only maritime injury firm with attorneys physically based in the state, offering an essential lifeline to those who harvest the Bering Sea and the North Pacific. Founded by Lanning Trueb, a former commercial fisherman himself, the firm possesses an intimate understanding of the maritime industry that goes far beyond textbooks. They know the difference between a seiner and a trawler, and they understand the specific dangers of the crab fisheries.
Exclusive Maritime Focus
This firm does not dabble in other areas of law; they are laser-focused on maritime injury. This specialization allows them to master the complex web of federal maritime laws and the Jones Act.
- Jones Act Claims: Expert representation for crew members injured due to employer negligence or unseaworthiness of a vessel.
- Wrongful Death at Sea: Compassionate advocacy for the families of fishermen lost in vessel sinkings, ensuring they receive the support and compensation they deserve.
- Commercial Fishing Injuries: Handling cases involving processors, deckhands, and captains across all major fisheries, including crab, salmon, and pollock.
- Tug and Barge Accidents: Representing workers injured on tugboats, barges, and other commercial vessels operating in Alaska’s treacherous waters.
Experience That Matters

They have successfully litigated against some of the largest fishing companies and insurance carriers in the world. Their track record includes recovering millions of dollars for clients involved in high-profile vessel sinkings and catastrophic injury cases. Because they operate on a contingency fee basis-”No Win, No Fee”-injured workers can access top-tier legal representation without worrying about upfront costs. They level the playing field for the individual worker against powerful corporate interests.
”We don’t represent insurance companies. We represent YOU-the injured mariner.”
