Cases involving maritime law differ from ordinary state principles that apply to accidents that occur on land. If you are injured in an accident that occurred on a seafaring vessel (military or commercial) or other offshore setting such as working on a dock or offshore oil platform, it is vitally important that you hire a personal injury lawyer who is experienced in maritime law.
Some of the most common injuries suffered by victims in maritime cases include:Our maritime lawyers have an in-depth understanding of admiralty law including The Jones Act, the Longshore & Harbor Workers Compensation Act, and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. This allows our attorneys to give you the best possible representation in handling claims in both state and federal court.
