McAllen Maritime Law Attorneys

Our McAllen Maritime Law Firm Is Known for Fighting No Matter What

For centuries, people have taken to the water to make a living. Since the maritime industry is one of the oldest in the world, it has its own set of laws that govern it. From these laws, modern American acts have been created to enhance them and bring them up to date. For example, vessel owners used to be required to pay only for the living expenses and care injured workers need until they reached maximum recovery. This is known as maintenance and cure. Today, maintenance and cure has been enhanced with the Jones Act, a law that allows workers to seek compensation for the full extent of their injuries if they were caused by negligence of another.

Since maritime law isn’t simple, it requires a law firm that has experience dealing with matters that involve. At Arnold & Itkin LLP, our McAllen maritime lawyers are known for getting the results that injured seamen, harbor workers, and other members of the offshore industry need after serious accidents.

Important Maritime Laws for Injured McAllen Workers

There are two laws that are popularly utilized by injured maritime workers: the Jones Act and the Longshoremen and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). Both of these laws does something important by protecting workers from accidents caused by negligence. Important United States maritime laws include:

  • The Jones Act
  • Death on the High Seas Act
  • Limitation of Liability Act
  • Longshoreman & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act

Importantly, the existence of the laws means one important thing: employers must prevent accidents or face accountability for the damage they cause to workers. Injured harbor workers, seamen, and other workers shouldn’t be left to handle the financial burden on accidents they didn’t cause.
