Our Practice Areas
- Seaman's claims/Jones Act claims - If you have been injured while working on a vessel or at sea, the Jones Act affords you legal rights to damages not available to injured land based workers and the general maritime law entitles you to maintenance and cure. Our personal injury attorney will effectively represent you in this complicated area of law. We will work hard to ensure you are compensated for your injuries.
- Recreational boating accidents - We represent clients who have been injured on cruise ships, yachts, deep sea fishing boats, jet skis, charter boats, and sail boats. The operator and owner of a vessel have duty to protect you from and warn you about dangerous conditions, and to not injury you while onboard their vessel. We also represent clients who wish to bring forward a wrongful death claim on behalf of a loved one.
- Transportation Law - Goods and merchandise are imported and exported daily from ports all over the world. When merchandise is lost, damaged, stolen, or otherwise tampered with, we represent shippers in the insurance claim. The claim for damages is not limited to the sea--the damage can occur while in transit on a truck, barge, or rail road. Our transportation law attorney is intimately familiar with federal maritime and transportation statutes.
- Maritime liens - A Mount Pleasant maritime lien attorney will represent you if you have loaned money to a ship or vendor. The ship will be arrested and seized. You can make a claim against a boat if it has not paid for merchandise.
- Marine insurance disputes - Marine insurance disputes require the skill of an accomplished maritime attorney. Disputes often arise regarding collisions, salvage claims, towage, groundings, sinkings, vessel repairs, and unseaworthiness of vessels. Insurance may extend to cargo and liability.
- Purchase and sale of vessels - If you are interested in buying or selling a vessel, our maritime lawyer will assist you in the transaction.
- Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Claims -Is a special federal workers compensation act that applies to longshoremen and other harbor workers that are injured on the job.
