Testimonials

• Brian, your book is a "what to do, and what not to do" guide.  Your book was a real eye-opener.  My company turned on me as soon as they realized I was seriously injured.  If I had read your book sooner, I would have avoided a lot of costly mistakes.  They really have a "bag" of tricks waiting on an injured worker.  I found everything in your book to be true.  These companies have a "kennel of pit bull attorneys" who attack injured workers legally, and use every trick in the book to keep from paying medical bills.  Captain Jim VickersMississippi

LNG ship runs aground off Puerto Rico

The grounding of a Norwegian flagged Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) ship off Puerto Rico this month is under Coast Guard investigation.

The 920 foot double-hulled vessel – named the Mathew – ran aground earlier this month just southeast of Cayo Caribe near Guayanilla. The vessel was floated free after transferring cargo from the forward to the aft tanks.

At last report, the vessel was moored at the Eco Electrica facility and divers were to conduct underwater hull integrity assessments.

Coast Guard inspectors from Ponce and San Juan were providing support at the scene.

There have been no reports of pollution.
