When a boat accident occurs on interstate waterways, such as bodies of water that connect two or more states, then United States admiralty law applies. The jurisdiction is sometimes referred to as federal admiralty law. In personal injury cases, federal admiralty law is often more favorable to the injured party than state or local laws. However, these cases are often more complex. The boat accident lawyers at Lerner and Rowe have thorough knowledge of United States admiralty law. If your case falls under that jurisdiction then you can be assured that our attorneys will do everything possible to ensure your maximum compensation.
