Why Hire a Maritime Accident Lawyer?

To be successful in your maritime injury claim, it is important to select a lawyer with the experience and knowledge to help you navigate the complicated legal process. The laws and regulations that govern maritime workers are very different from those that cover employees working on dry land.

The most important of these maritime laws is the Jones Act, which allows seamen to seek compensation for injuries caused by the negligence of the vessel owner, employer, or crew member. The Jones Act provides maintenance (living expense) and cure (medical expense) payments to injured maritime workers.

Other laws and regulations that may have relevance in your case include the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA), the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA), and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA).
