Seeking Fair Compensation for People Injured in Bay, River and Lake Accidents
Everyone who operates a boat in Maryland has a responsibility to follow boating safety standards. When boaters fail to live up to their responsibilities by operating their boats carelessly or under the influence of alcohol, innocent people can get seriously injured.
I am Irwin E. Weiss, an experienced Maryland boating accident attorney. If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a boating accident, I will work diligently to help you hold the negligent party accountable and obtain the financial compensation you deserve.
Understanding Federal Admiralty Law and Maryland Personal Injury Law
There are some important differences between boating and auto accident claims. In particular, if you were involved in a boating accident on navigable waters (including the Chesapeake Bay), your claim is governed by federal admiralty law rather than Maryland personal injury law.
If you talk to a lawyer who is not familiar with the standards of liability under admiralty law, he or she may tell you that you do not have a claim when you actually do.
I have helped many clients obtain compensation for injuries they have suffered in boating accidents. I understand when admiralty law applies, when Maryland law applies, and what needs to be done under both standards to achieve fair outcomes for boating accident victims.
