Jacksonville, Florida maritime lawyers represent individuals and companies with legal issues concerning maritime or admiralty law. Situated near the northeast coast of Florida on the banks of the St. Johns River, Jacksonville is the most populous city in Florida, and the twelfth largest city in the U.S. Many individuals seek Jacksonville maritime law firms for matters involving, for example, accidents aboard:

• personal watercraft
• recreational vessels — e.g., waterskiing, pleasure boating
• cruise ships
• fishing boats
• water taxis
• sailboats
• motorboats

Injuries and Deaths Related to Work

The injured parties in such accidents may be passengers, guests, swimmers, water skiers, kayakers, canoeists, and even pedestrians. However, boating accidents are only part of a maritime law firm's practice. Many individuals consult Jacksonville maritime attorneys after incurring a personal injury during the course of their work as, e.g.:

• commercial divers
• crew members
• harbor pilots
• harbor workers such as welders
• longshoremen
• officers
• sailors and other seamen
• shore-side workers such as mechanics

Maritime Laws

Maritime law is a complex field, and many law firms do not deal with maritime law at all. The maritime lawyers in Jacksonville are knowledgeable and experienced in this field, which includes coverage of domestic and international laws such as:

• The Carriage of Goods by Sea Act — this governs business' claims regarding damage to cargo that is shipped internationally by sea
• The Jones Act— this mandates medical care and income for seamen who are injured in the course of their work (and for the dependents of those who are killed)
• The Longshoreman and Harbor Workers Compensation Act — this provides benefits similar to those provided by the Jones Act for maritime workers who aren't classified as seamen (e.g., welders and mechanics, stevedores, non-seaman divers, harbor pilots)

The Entire Spectrum of Maritime Issues

In addition to injuries and deaths related to the waterways in and around Florida, Jacksonville maritime lawyers deal with legal issues such as:

• BUI (boating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs)
• maritime accidents such as electrocution, explosions, exposure to toxins, collisions, and more
• piracy
• the use/possession of firearms aboard a vessel
• the workers who contribute to a voyage, such as shipbuilders and longshoremen
• unseaworthy vessels
