The Admiralty and Maritime law of the United States governs most injuries that occur on the high seas, navigable waters of the United States (including many lakes and rivers) or on piers, docks, wharves and beaches. Federal maritime law supersedes state law and in many circumstances is very different from state personal injury and state workers compensation laws.
The Los Angeles maritime injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Charles D. Naylor have extensive experience representing injured workers in all maritime trades suffering career-ending or catastrophic injuries in accidents around the world. Experience includes:
