Maritime Personal Injury

The Admiralty and Maritime law of the United States governs most injuries that occur on the high seas, navigable waters of the United States (including many lakes and rivers) or on piers, docks, wharves and beaches. Statutes such as the Jones Act and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) provide remedies for injured workers. The general maritime law and statutes including the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA) provide remedies to passengers and other non-seamen when for injury and wrongful death. Federal maritime law supersedes state law and in many circumstances is very different from state personal injury and workers compensation laws.
