What rights do I have under general maritime or admiralty law?

A: If you are injured, you are entitled under maritime law to file a claim under the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Act, or the Death on the High Seas Act. You have the right to pursue a lawsuit and recover damages. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Serving Louisiana and Gulf Coast victims, a maritime, admiralty, and boating accident lawyer can help you in your pursuit of justice and dramatically improve your chances of obtaining fair compensation for your losses.
