Maritime &Offshore Injuries

Admiralty law covering seamen, offshore workers, and cruise ship passengers.

Maritime injuries are governed by their own body of law, developed over centuries and largely unfamiliar to attorneys who do not practice in it. The Jones Act, maintenance and cure, and unseaworthiness doctrines create rights that no land-based injury claim contains — and deadlines that can be shorter than you expect.

Whether you are a seaman under the Jones Act, a dockworker or platform hand covered by the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, or a passenger injured aboard a vessel, the framework that applies to you determines nearly everything about your claim.

Andre Thomas navigates admiralty law on behalf of seamen, offshore workers, and cruise ship passengers injured in accidents on the water.
