Maritime Law

A Sarasota boat accident  or Venice boat accident which leads to personal injury or death is governed by complex federal and state laws, rules, and regulations. Notably, personal injury or death which occur on navigable waterways (rivers, estuaries, Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, and even lakes) are governed in court by federal maritime law.

While often these cases may be pursued and filed in Florida Circuit Court, federal maritime law often applies. Some of these laws -- including the amount of money damages available and other remedies -- are hundreds of years old. It is important that you hire a lawyer who has experience in maritime cases, as they can be complex and are not ordinary personal injury matters.
