Cruise Ships

From the brief review presented here, it should be apparent that laws pertaining to liability the of cruise ship operations can be radically different in comparison to the laws that govern how liability cases are decided in “dry land” courts.

Due to the complex nature of maritime law, anyone injured on a cruise ship should contact an experienced cruise ship accident as soon as possible after their return to their home port. A cruise ship accident lawyer will have the knowledge of personal injury and maritime law to pursue and fight for a personal injury claim again a cruise ship operator.

Barges

The rights of an offshore worker depend on many factors, such as the job he was doing, whether the accident happened in federal waters, state waters, or inland bays, and the type of structure he was working on at the time of the accident. The general maritime law considers inland barge drilling rigs to be vessels, no different than crew boats, supply boats, or cruise ships. This also includes barges with special equipment mounted to do specific work, such as a coiled-tubing unit, plug and abandon equipment, and even land-based truck rigs mounted on barges.

Oil Rigs and Platforms

Offshore oil rigs and platforms are large, complex structures designed to drill for, remove, process and then temporarily store oil or natural gas until the material can be transported for refining and eventual sale.
