Longshoreman & Harbor Workers
On the beautiful First Coast of Florida and in Jacksonville, there are many beautiful rivers, lakes and waterways that many of us enjoy on a daily basis. The Jax Port and other harbors provide much needed jobs and have a positive economic impact on the River City. But along with the benefits and pleasure of the water there are accidents that occur each and every day.
The proper operation of boats and other watercraft is governed by maritime law. If you have been injured, had property damaged or have lost someone because of a boating accident, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. It is important that you talk to a knowledgeable and respected Admiralty and Maritime Law Attorney.
Here are a few of the common recreational and job related boating accidents that are subject to maritime law:
- Capsizing
- Collisions
- Disappearance of a passenger or crew member

As a result of any of these and other accidents, boat owners can be held liable for:
