Maritime Law

---

Admiralty and maritime matters arise out of injury to persons or damage to property related to any type of water craft, boat or ship on navigable waters. Maritime cases include injuries to passengers on cruise ships or private water craft as well as injuries to crew on commercial vessels or yachts. Maritime law allows Cruise Lines via a passenger’s ticket to dictate a particular venue and shorten the time a passenger may file a claim. Maritime law also allows crew to sue their employer while at the same time collecting benefits for living and medical expenses. If you have been injured as a result of being aboard a boat or in anyway connected with a maritime activity on the water, you should contact the attorneys at Fazio DiSalvo who have the prerequisite experience and knowledge in maritime law and procedure to protect your rights.
