What are Maritime Accidents?
Admiralty or maritime accidents occur in a variety of different settings and concern injuries to merchant mariners, seamen or longshoremen aboard cargo ships, commercial fishing vessels to passengers on board ferries or cruise ships, and others. Federal law generally governs the injured party’s claim, such as the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act and/or the General Maritime Law, which includes negligence and a seaman’s right to maintenance and cure (daily sustenance and medical care).
