Maritime & Admiralty Injuries

How to Know If Your Case Falls Under Maritime or Admiralty Law

If you were injured while working at sea, on a dock, or on a river, your case may fall under maritime or admiralty law. Unfortunately, navigating the maritime and admiralty law claims process can often be confusing and overwhelming. It is not always obvious whether you have a workers’ comp claim, longshore claim, traditional personal injury case, or a maritime or admiralty claim. The most important thing to know is that if you were hurt while on or near water, you should consult with an experienced maritime and admiralty law firm to determine what type of claim you might have.

Understanding Maritime law in Texas and the Gulf Coast

Maritime and Admiralty law covers the range of legislation and common law that governs claims that originate on or near bodies of water. Notably, maritime cases generally fall under federal jurisdiction, but, at times, may be litigated in state court. To be clear, you do not have to be working on the ocean or in international waters to have this type of claim. Injuries that occur while on harbors, docks, and other locations on or near related to navigable waters may qualify as maritime or admiralty claims. Offshore maritime injury claims may be governed by The Jones Act; The Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA); or general maritime law. If you are a Longshoreman, your claim may be governed by The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA).

Compensation Available to Injured Victims

While maritime and admiralty claims can be especially complicated, it is important to remember that you and your family are still entitled to recover full and fair compensation for your damages.
