Liability in Salvage Operations

Liability in salvage operations refers to the legal responsibilities involved when someone helps recover property that has been lost or damaged at sea. Salvors are often entitled to compensation for their efforts, but they must also ensure their actions do not cause more damage or endanger lives. If a salvor acts recklessly or without permission, they could face legal consequences. The laws governing salvage aim to balance incentives for rescuing property while protecting the rights of property owners and ensuring safety at sea.
