• Maritime Wrongful Death: providing compassionate and vigorous representation for families who have lost loved ones in maritime disasters.

Working on the water carries inherent risks, but when accidents happen due to negligence, you need to hire a lawyer who understands the difference between a worker's compensation claim and a maritime lawsuit. Mr. Poulson's decades of experience ensure that every avenue for recovery is explored.
