Some difficulties you face in a case subject to admiralty/maritime law

Our Galveston maritime injury lawyers point out that admiralty law (also called maritime law) constitutes an extremely specially, highly complex field of law.

• Admiralty law continues to evolve at a fast pace under increasing pressures from new technologies, trading patterns, resource competition, and other issues that affect our use of and travel on the seas.
• The body of admiralty law and practice varies widely between jurisdictions. If you suffered a maritime injury, you might be confused as to whether your case is subject to U.S. admiralty law, the international law of the seas, or some other body of maritime law. A skilled maritime lawyer with thorough legal knowledge of the field could examine your case and help you identify the governing laws as well as liable parties for your injury.
• Only a small percentage of lawyers ever have any contact with admiralty law and issues in their careers. Maritime issues can be so tangled and complex that you need a lawyer with practical experience and in-depth knowledge of admiralty law to effectively handle your case.
• The U.S. federal courts have jurisdiction over U.S. admiralty issues, so the lawyer you hire for your admiralty case must argue your case in federal court rather than in the local courts to which most attorneys are more accustomed.
