The law firm of Edward R. Petkevis, PC, is your source for experienced maritime legal services. Admiralty and maritime law are federal bodies of law that govern actions, including torts and contracts, occurring on navigable, as well as personal injury claims that involve crewmembers, vacationers, and individuals.

Jones Act
Jones Act claims involve injuries that are sustained by crewmembers while working aboard vessels, as well as during the course of employment in land-based activities. Injured workers may be entitled to obtain full economic compensation, a living allowance, and payment of all medical expenses, as well as compensation for non-economic losses such as pain and suffering.

Cruise Ship Injuries
Injuries occurring on cruise ships often involve dangerous premises, defective products, food poisoning, or medical malpractice. No matter where you live, we can help you with your cruise ship injury claim.

Recreational & Pleasure Boat Injuries
If you have been hurt in a recreational and pleasure boat because of the negligence of another, from failure to heed traffic rules to boating under the influence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. We handle injuries related to a wide range of recreational boats, as well as jet and water skis.

Fatal Boating Accidents
If a person dies more than 3 miles from shore, the claim for compensation proceeds under the Death on High Seas Act (DOHSA). This federal statute not only governs deaths resulting from ship collisions with other marine vessels, but all deaths occurring more than 3 miles from shore, such as where a plane collides with a ship.
