I’ve suffered a maritime injury. Do I need a lawyer?

Yes. If you’ve suffered an injury at sea or an injury doing any kind of maritime work in a dock, harbor, or other location, then you need an attorney to represent you and to help you get the full and fair recovery that you deserve.

You Need a Maritime Attorney

The attorney who handled your car accident may have been excellent and the personal injury attorney you heard about may come well recommended. However, a general personal injury lawyer is not necessarily who you want representing you in a maritime injury case. Most personal injury lawyers are unfamiliar with the ins and outs of maritime claims and may be ill prepared to handle your case.

Maritime injury law is complex. Specific laws—that are both historic and complicated—may apply to your recovery. Your case may need to be decided in a federal court rather than a state court, it could involve more than one defendant, and the evidence necessary to prove your claim may be unique to the maritime industry. These factors can make it very difficult for anyone other than an experienced maritime injury lawyer to represent you.

What to Consider Before Hiring an Attorney

Maritime law is older than the founding of the United States, so it takes someone who has dedicated years of study to really master this field.
