Maritime Accidents

If you are injured in a maritime accident, it is important to hire an attorney immediately to investigate your accident. Our attorneys will speak to others on the vessel to obtain their statements to aid in your case. You are also urged to seek immediate medical attention for your injures.

Maritime Laws

The body of laws covering maritime accidents fall under maritime law and include the Jones Act, Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA), Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), and various other laws. Under the Jones Act, seamen who were injured while working on a vessel as a result of negligence may seek compensation for medical expenses, or cure, living expenses during recovery, or maintenance, and sometimes future economic losses and pain and suffering. Our lawyers will be able to advise you of the applicable laws and the best way to proceed to maximize your financial recovery.
