When Will I Need A Maritime Attorney?

WHEN WILL YOU NEED A MARITIME ATTORNEY?

Injuries can happen in any place and at any time. It could be a slip and fall at a supermarket, an incident while on the job or even an injury while vacationing. In any of these situations, a person will want to hire an accident lawyer.

When an accident occurs on or around water, the injured victim needs a Maritime Attorney.

UNDERSTANDING MARITIME LAW

People sometimes use the terms “admiralty” and “maritime” when speaking about the body of law that governs all ship, like cargo ships, cruise ships, recreational boats, barges, etc. Maritime and Admiralty Law also includes all sea staff and shipboard workers. It covers all persons at sea and all vessels moving from location to location on a body of water.

Admiralty and Maritime law also cover any accidents and injuries involving sport and recreational activities in the waters and Intracoastal waterways. This includes Jet Ski accidents and recreational boat accidents. Maritime law also covers some international business and a wide range of shipping or crimes that take place over waters.

People need to know that Maritime Law has its own set of the statue of limitations. For most cases, an individual has three years to file a lawsuit for their injury. If the case involves cruise ship matters and injuries, a notice of claim should be given to the cruise line within six months of the accident and the lawsuit should be filed within one year to the court listed on the passenger ticket.
