Louisiana Admiralty & Maritime Lawyers

Often referred to as Admiralty, Maritime law or the “law of the sea” is a completely separate set of laws that covers ship owners, shipmasters and all other maritime workers. For this reason, personal injuries that occur while at sea, whether on a ship, oil rig or other maritime vessel, such as drowning at sea or oil rig explosions, will be looked at differently from personal injuries on the land. For this reason, you need a personal injury lawyer that is experienced and knowledgeable about Admiralty and Maritime law. Spencer Calahan Injury Lawyers is that law firm. And with a dedicated staff of aggressive personal injury lawyers we will make sure you receive the compensation you deserve for your Maritime injury.

What Falls under Maritime Law & Admiralty?

As with any aspect of injury law, Admiralty and Maritime law covers a broad range of subjects. Some of the more common cases we see at Spencer Calahan Injury Lawyers include:

•	Drowning Accidents – Drowning accidents that occur on both commercial and 
	private vessels.
•	Barge & Vessel Accidents – Involving the vessels themselves, the people on board 
	and all cargo involved. 
•	Oil Rig Explosions – These accidents occur far too often and the results can be 
	devastating for the injured workers and their families.
•	Longshoreman Accidents – This highly dangerous profession has a high rate of 
	injury which can have lasting effects.

Unfortunately, insurance companies will often do everything in their power to ensure no compensation takes place to injured workers. if you or a family member are injured while at sea, Louisiana law offers protection under Admiralty and Maritime law.
