Blue Water Legal is different than most firms that do workers’ compensation or personal injury cases. Our practice emphasizes maritime cases. We know the laws impacting you. We know the legal systems. We know the people typically involved on the other side.

All of this experience means we can give candid advice and help you recover from your injury.

Let us help you deal with the laws related to your work injury so you can focus on getting better

We are more than just a compassionate and experienced law firm. We are family. We take this commitment to family and bring it to your case. Would you expect anything less from a law firm started by two sisters?
