Have you or a loved one been injured and are considering whether you should contact a maritime injury lawyer? Personal injury and wrongful death cases related to maritime laws are vastly different from traditional cases. Maritime laws provide increased compensation for victims and are handled by an entirely different legal process. Hiring a maritime personal injury lawyer is a crucial element of securing all of the compensation that you are entitled to receive as a victim or surviving relative.
Have you or a loved been hurt or died as a result of an oil rig fire, explosion, or other accident? Oil rig workers perform one of the most skilled and dangerous offshore jobs. Unfortunately, oil companies do not always take necessary precautions and catastrophic accidents occur.
Cruise ship accidents are more common than most people realize. A vacation experience is abruptly tainted when an accident, crime, or other traumatic event occurs onboard a cruise ship. The laws surrounding these incidents are complex and may involve several jurisdictions, including maritime, federal, and sometimes laws of other countries. This complicates the legal process and requires the best lawyer in your corner to fight for your rights.
Have you suffered from an injury or illness on a maritime vessel? The Jones Act provides special protection for water transport workers, including the right to file a lawsuit against their employer when they are hurt on the job. You will need a lawyer who understands the Jones act, familiar with worksite injuries, and has experience fighting for maritime workers to obtain compensation for your injuries.
The Death on the High Seas Act is one of several legal acts that were developed to protect the legal rights of maritime workers and their families. The Death on the High Seas Act allows immediate family members to sue their loved one’s employer for damages in the event of a fatality at sea.
The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation, or LHWCA, was developed in 1927 to provide protection for maritime workers. These legal protections allow injured maritime workers to sue their employer for compensation after an accident results in an injury, total, or permanent disability. The act also allows families to sue their loved one’s employer in the event of wrongful death.
Maintenance and cure is a legal provision that provides financial protection for maritime workers who suffered from an injury or illness on the job. Rights to compensation under this act may include housing, medical bills, food, and other daily expenses. Maintenance and cure also requires employers to provide injured employees with the medical resources needed to achieve maximum medical improvement.
