Maritime workers hurt on the job are protected under federal law. Federal maritime laws protect workers by giving them rights that they previously didn’t have. These laws cover workers injured on ships, tugboats, pleasure boats, barges, and other vessels.
Maritime injuries aren’t always covered under workers’ compensation law, which is why it is crucial to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after you have been hurt.
Boarding a boat as a passenger comes with certain risks. Many ships and other boats may have limited medical staff or none at all. Sometimes, passengers are even required to sign a liability waiver to protect the owner or business from lawsuits.
However, injured passengers still have legal rights, even if you sign a waiver. But you’ll need an experienced maritime lawyer on your side who can fight to get the compensation you deserve.
