Over $1 Billion RECOVERED For Maritime Accident Victims
Admiralty Extension Act Lawyers
The Admiralty Extension Act (AEA) extends admiralty jurisdiction inland and provides coverage for injuries which occur on land, but are caused by a vessel on navigable water. This provision allows admiralty and maritime jurisdiction to cover those injured on land by some appurtenance of the ship. Thus, those maritime employees injured on land while working near their vessel are covered under maritime law via the AEA.
In addition, this Act also extends the benefit of maritime jurisdiction to those injured while involved in the loading, unloading or storage of vessel cargo. In order to determine whether or not you may be eligible to recover under the Act, it is imperative that you speak with an experienced, knowledgeable maritime attorney.
