Maritime Injuries

The laws that apply to personal injury claims by seamen, longshoremen and other waterway workers are different from those that govern land-based workers and are called maritime law; also known as admiralty law. Maritime law applies to offshore laborers and other members of maritime industries. It allows families to obtain compensation for accidents that cause serious injuries and wrongful death.

The Florida maritime lawyers of Howard S. Grossman, P.A., regularly help people who have suffered maritime accidents. We offer free initial consultations with our attorneys, and if we take your case, we will charge no attorneys' fees or costs until you get compensation.

We understand that each maritime injury case is unique. We know how to apply the complex set of laws to each client’s injury. We fully investigate every claim, obtain evidence and help build a solid case.

We are familiar with waterways jobs and the many types of equipment workers use. We are fully aware of the hazards you face and the obligations of your employer and others to protect you. When that standard of care is breached, we put the full force of our knowledge and litigation experience to bear on obtaining full compensation for your injuries.

Whether you seek compensation from your employer or ship owner under the Jones Act or the Longshore & Harbor Workers Act, or against a responsible third party, such as a contractor, under general maritime law, we have the expertise to ensure your rights are protected.
