Charleston Maritime Personal Injury Lawyer
Our South Carolina, admiralty and maritime law firm offers clients quality representation in this highly complicated area of law. Admiralty and maritime law applies to legal issues dealing with accidents or personal injuries involving boats, vessels, cruise ships, jet skis, fishing boats that occur at sea, rivers, the Intracoastal Waterways and certain lakes. If you have been injured while on a recreational boat or while working on a vessel, admiralty and maritime laws apply to your claim. Injuries that occur on the water or on boats have completely different liability standards and remedies under the general maritime law than injuries that occur on land. Being represented by an attorney who specializes in land based injuries may be detrimental to someone with a boat injury because the land based lawyer might not fully understand the intricacies of maritime law, harming your chances for a full recovery. It is important to have a South Carolina maritime attorney who fully understands the federal laws and regulations and the general maritime law that applies to your situation.
