Texas Maritime Injury Attorney

Maritime law, commonly referred to as admiralty law, relates law to events that occur on water, which include seas, oceans, large lakes or rivers that can be used for commercial shipping and other commercial activities, such as cruises and boating.

Injuries that occur offshore, such as on a cruise ship, sailboat, yacht, steamer, commercial ship, and oil rigs, are governed by maritime and admiralty law.These forms of law are highly complex and require tremendous experience.
