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.
