Maritime Injury Maritime laws, rules and regulations protect individuals who have suffered harm from an accident on the “high seas” or on the “navigable waters” of the US. Examples of maritime injuries include offshore oilfield accidents, shipping accidents, or accidents occurring on a cruise ship or pleasure vessel. Seamen injured as a result of their employer’s negligence may have a claim under the Jones Act. If the injury or wrongful death has occurred because the vessel, crew, operation or equipment was not seaworthy, victims may collect compensation through an unseaworthiness claim. If you have been injured as a result of a maritime accident, you need to speak to an experienced attorney well versed in maritime law.
