Admiralty and Maritime Law
Admiralty and maritime law, which is determined under federal law, exists whenever the injury occurs in navigable waters. Navigable waters mean any waterway that ultimately leads to the ocean. This includes any body of water except landlocked lakes. These laws apply to passengers and crew members. Each has separate legal rights and requirements.

A seaman who is seriously injured or who dies is entitled to damages under federal law. The Jones Act provides damages for “maintenance and cure,” as well as those arising from the negligence or unseaworthiness of the owner, operator’s vessel, or crew. “Maintenance” entitles you to your wages while you are out of work, and “cure” provides medical care and treatment, until you reach a maximum medical cure. This includes housing, food, transportation to and from medical care and procedures, surgery and rehabilitation. If your loved one died due to negligence or un-seaworthiness, the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA) entitles the seaman’s spouse or dependent children to collect compensation. Longshore and Harbor Workers are also entitled to damages for their injuries and death resulting from the negligence of others under the Longshore and Harbor Worker’s Compensation Act (LHWCA).
