Seeking experienced legal counsel is very important after a serious accident, because if another person or entity is responsible for the accident, the victim or his family may have a legal case against the responsible party. The legal system offers personal injury and wrongful death victims the chance to recover money to cover medical expenses and lost wages and to compensate the victims for their pain, suffering and grief.
Maritime injuries are even more complicated than injuries that occur on land; the laws are different, the timing is different and the remedies are different. Maritime law is federal law, which means your state’s personal injury laws do not apply. If you are hurt in a maritime accident, whether you were working at sea or out enjoying the water as a passenger, you need an attorney who focuses on maritime law and is familiar with its details. Maritime accidents include fishing accidents, recreational boating accidents, ferry accidents, cruise ship accidents, tanker accidents, tug and barge accidents and more – any accident that occurs at sea or in connection with working at sea will fall under maritime law.
