Maritime businesses: Businesses involving maritime activities must abide by numerous state, federal, and maritime regulations, and are subject to sanctions when they violate the rules. Recreational boaters: When people are injured in recreational boating or watercraft accidents, their cases (tort claims) are subject to certain maritime laws, US Coast Guard laws, and supplemental state laws. Cruise ship passengers: When passengers aboard vessels such as cruise ships sustain an injury, their negligence claims are subject to maritime laws that impose stringent time limits and filing procedures on the victim. Maritime employees: Our maritime injury attorneys at Lee Hoffoss Injury Lawyers primarily work with injured workers in maritime-related professions. Maritime laws provide protections for workers who sustain injuries while on the job, and we help these workers exercise their rights within these laws. These valuable protections are akin to workers’ compensation and liability claims for land-based workers.
