What Does Admiralty Law Entail?

Admiralty law governs a variety of maritime issues and seamen disputes. Injured maritime workers and their attorneys typically look to past legal cases to help define how admiralty law can help employees and workers receive the compensation they deserve following a work-related injury.  Just some of the maritime areas covered by admiralty law include:

• Workers performing marine commerce such as fishermen
• Ship employees of all types of vessels
• Maritime salvage workers such as employees hired to recover a vessel and its cargo following a shipwreck

Employers and their insurance companies will likely attempt to dispute an injured workers' right to file a claim under admiralty law to avoid having to pay for your injuries and the consequences. Even if you aren’t sure if you are eligible, an experienced attorney can help you fully understand the law and help demonstrate you qualify for compensation.

It's crucial to speak with an experienced admiralty lawyer as soon as possible following a maritime injury, whether it be on the docks or offshore. Although admiralty laws have been created to ensure seamen and maritime workers would be protected if injured while working, the law includes many nuances and definitions that can certainly have a negative impact on your settlement. Waiting for your employer to begin the workers' compensation process is a huge mistake as evidence of your maritime accident may be compromised. Being proactive not only lets the insurance adjusters know you mean business, it's also your best bet to ensure the protection of your family's financial well-being.
