injured on california waters
The Kuvara Law Firm represents clients whose injuries from recreational boating have been caused by something as simple as a slick deck or as complicated as a collision with another vessel. Unfortunately, drinking while boating is one of the leading causes of recreational boating, sailboat, and jet ski accidents.
working on the high seas
If you have suffered an injury while working on any sort of boat, you are also entitled to claim compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering and your lost wages, both past and future. These claims are made under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. 30104, claiming negligence, and under the General Maritime Law, claiming an unseaworthy condition of the vessel and/or its crew. Payment of these claims comes at the end of the case. However, there are a number of specific laws which apply to professional seafarers who have been injured or taken ill while on navigable waters. You need to contact an attorney who can assist you in these legal matters.
Kuvara Law Firm‘s boating accident attorneys have a complete understanding of the various factors involved in maritime injury litigation. For instance, state and federal law each have different statutes of limitation for injuries that take place on the water. Your damages are likely to be calculated differently.
