Representing People In Maritime Law Issues
Admiralty and maritime law is a complex and specialized area of law that is significantly different from the laws that apply on land. It covers a wide array of issues involving the shipment of cargo, transportation of people, commercial fishing, boating for pleasure and other issues related to ships.
At the Bluestein Law Firm, P.A., our lawyers focus almost entirely on admiralty and maritime law. We assist individuals who have suffered injuries in the following types of situations:
- Employees working on ocean vessels, tug boats and casino boats
- Individuals on private boats and jet skis
- Passengers aboard Carnival Cruise Line and other cruise ships
- Customers on fishing boats, casino boats and jet ski and parasailing tours

An Attorney Who Works Specifically For You
You might think that if you are injured in a boating accident or on board a cruise ship, any personal injury lawyer could represent you.

Founding attorney S. Scott Bluestein holds a Master of Law in admiralty from Tulane University and has more than two decades of experience working in admiralty and maritime law. If you have been injured in a boating accident or need help with a maritime law issue, he is well-prepared to assist.
