Compensation For Maritime Injury Victims
Maritime injuries call into play a unique body of law. The tenets of land-based personal injury and workers' compensation claims do not apply when an injury occurs on a ship or oil rig.
Even within the realm of offshore injuries, there are dramatic variations based on the victim's role and the situation. Seamen have a certain set of rights and benefits. Longshoremen have a different set of rights and benefits. Passengers have a different set of rights and benefits. Victims of maritime accidents must enlist a lawyer who is experienced in this body of law, and who is able to quickly identify and work within the specific rules that apply to the case at hand.
