Injured on a Boat? Why You Need a Maritime Injury Lawyer: Not Just Any Personal Injury Attorney
If you were hurt on a boat, the law that applies to your case may be very different from an ordinary land-based injury claim. Jones Act rights, Maintenance & Cure, unseaworthiness — these are powerful protections that most personal injury lawyers never encounter. At Fulweiler llc, maritime law is not a side practice. It's all we do. We hold maritime credentials, we know vessel operations, we know boats and we represent injured mariners and passengers throughout New England from our home port in Newport, Rhode Island
