Maritime injuries give rise to the payment of damages
for injuries suffered on or near the water.
|
|
Injured fishermen, workers on ships, boats and or diving
rigs are covered by the Jones Act and related Federal Admiralty
Law. This law compensates the injured seaman for the injury,
lost wages, pain and suffering, medical treatment and related
damages. |
|
Boat builders, dock workers’ and other workers injured
on shore but near the water are covered by the Longshore
and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. This federal act
is different than regular workers’ compensation and provides
benefits for the injured worker including lost wages, medical
treatment, scarring and loss of function and future lost
wages. |
|
Recreational boating accident injuries are also covered
by the laws of negligence and provide the payment of damages
for injuries suffered, medical bills, lost wages and pain
and suffering. |
