Maritime and Admiralty: A Law Unto Itself
Charleston Maritime Injury Lawyer
Maritime law is distinctive from all other forms of law in several key ways:
- It has an extraordinarily long history. While every time and place has customized laws, the codification of maritime law began in ancient times.
- It is international in nature. There are variations in maritime laws in countries around the world, but essential legal concepts are similar and those who practice maritime and admiralty law speak a common legal language.
- It is significantly different from the laws that may apply on land, especially when it comes to injured workers.
The Bluestein Law Firm focuses its legal practice on all aspects of the complex field of admiralty and maritime law, from the business of shipping commercial cargo on ocean-going vessels to handling Jones Act cases for injured seamen and personal injury cases involving injured recreational boaters. Our business covers any legal matter involving the ocean or navigable inland waterways.
