Maritime Personal Injury

Maritime injury occurs when a maritime worker, a "seaman," is injured on the sea or water while at working for his or her employer. But rather than being a state workers' compensation claim, a maritime injury is generally covered by the Jones Act and general maritime law. To establish a maritime injury claim, the seaman must prove that a negligent act or an unseaworthy condition on board the vessel caused his or her injury.
