Maritime Personal Injuries

Maritime personal injuries refer to injuries that occur to crew members or other individuals while working on or near ships, boats, or in navigable waters. These injuries can result from accidents like slips and falls, equipment failures, or other hazardous conditions specific to maritime work environments. Unlike typical workplace injuries, maritime claims often fall under specialized laws, such as the Jones Act, which provides protections and compensation for injured maritime workers. Understanding these legal nuances is essential for those affected by maritime accidents to ensure they receive appropriate medical care and financial support.
