Maritime Lawyers, Admiralty Lawyers

When searching for the right admiralty lawyer you may want to check on the results of that any particular attorney has had in court. You can search the web by the lawyer's name to view cases the attorney has handled. Many databases exist online and are easy to view. You may want to ask your admiralty lawyer some basic questions such as their representation of shipping companies. Ask your selected lawyer whether they have experience with your type of case. Has he handled injured seamen and was this a recent case. What were the results? No question should go unasked when seeking the right attorney for you and your case.

Check that your lawyer has plenty of experience with maritime law. How much experience do they have with the seaman's union? Is the attorney knowledgeable with working seaman unions within and outside of the United States? Ask your attorney for their Martindale Hubbel rating. You want to look for a score of AV, which is the highest rating Martindale Hubbel can assign.

Many admiralty lawyers take on cases concerning the larger cruise ships and not just working ships. Accidents and sexual assaults are among the common legal cases when it comes to maritime personal injury. Finding a lawyer that represents the passengers and crew due to accidents can also be beneficial. And an attorney can determine which type of case would best suit the situation. Admiralty lawyers know the laws when it comes to wages and medical treatments for passengers and crew members.
