Understanding Maritime Personal Injury Law

Maritime personal injury law, also known as admiralty law, governs the legal issues arising from accidents and injuries that occur on navigable waters. It encompasses a range of incidents including offshore accidents, cruise ship injuries, commercial fishing injuries, and more.

Do I need a maritime attorney?

If you are asking yourself this question, the answer is: YES, you do.

A  maritime personal injury lawyer is important because they have specific knowledge and expertise in the field of maritime or admiralty law. This is a particular part of the law that regulates any activity, offense or injuries that takes place in the waters, including oceans, rivers, streams and lakes as well as activities that take place on land but are maritime in nature.

Sadly, most of the injuries that occur out in the water are a consequence of ship or vessel un-seaworthiness, negligence by maritime employers, vessel or ship owners, ship captains, coworkers, and/or crew members.

There are laws that exist to protect your rights and get you compensation for your injuries. Barducci Law Firm will make sure to get you what you deserve.
