Maritime Attorney Accidents at sea often occur unexpectedly and, regrettably, are quite frequent due to the operation of heavy machinery in challenging environments. Even those traveling on cruise ships may face sudden personal injuries. Typically, maritime workers do not benefit from state workers’ compensation laws. However, various federal statutes and acts are available to ensure they receive adequate care and compensation in the unfortunate event of an injury. Cases involving admiralty law fall under federal authority, granting significant rights through federal regulations like the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), the Death on High Seas Act, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), the Defense Base Act, seaworthiness standards, the Suits in Admiralty Act, the Public Vessels Act, the Limitations of Liability Act, the Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentalities Act, and additional maritime rules.
