How Does Maritime Law Affect Personal Injury Cases in Port Orchard?
Maritime law, also known as admiralty law, is a distinct body of laws and regulations that governs activities on navigable waters, including marinas, ports, and harbors. As a major maritime hub, Port Orchard is governed by a unique set of laws that differ from those in other personal injury cases.
Here are some key factors to keep in mind when filing a maritime injury claim:
- Exclusive remedy: In some cases, maritime workers may be ineligible to file traditional worker’s compensation claims and must seek relief through the Jones Act or Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act instead. Our lawyers have a comprehensive understanding of state, federal, and maritime laws to help you navigate your claim efficiently.
- Statute of limitations: Personal injury cases involving maritime law have specific time restrictions for filing claims. Failure to file a maritime injury claim within the appropriate deadline can make you ineligible for compensation. Securing experienced representation is critical to maintaining your eligibility for damages.
- Legal distinctions: Maritime law differs from state and federal laws in many ways, including different remedies, damages, and jurisdictional options. A qualified attorney can help you navigate these complexities effectively.
If you sustained a maritime injury, working with a personal injury lawyer who is well-versed in the legal nuances of maritime law is crucial. Whether you were injured on the water or at work, our attorneys have extensive experience navigating maritime law to help you seek compensation for your injuries.

I never left a review after the incredible services this law firm provided me. I was in a car accident. Steve Franklin was caring and extremely helpful during the traumatic time. I was new to living in the area and felt so comfortable and supported by him. Five years later…. They still send me birthday cards. I know, I know…. It may seem silly, but this is such a sweet gesture! 10/10 Recommend.

I am very Lucky to have found Ian De Verna for my attorney. I was injured in a car accident and while Ian was working on my case I was hit by someone again. This time the person had no insurance I was injured again and my brand new car was totaled. Being injured again I was pretty scared but thankfully Ian took on this case for uninsured motorist against my insurance company as well. It was a challenge I am sure but Ian and his staff were very professional and caring the whole time. With all Ian's hard work he was able to get policy limits for both cases. Ian is not only good at his profession but truly cares about his clients and works very hard with his great group of people at Becker Franklin Rovang Injury office

What Should I Do if I’m Injured in an Accident in Port Orchard?
While it can be stressful to take action after a serious injury, knowing what steps to take next is critical to recovering damages for medical treatment, lost earnings, and other losses. Here are some essential steps to take after an accident:
- Seek medical attention: Even if you lack obvious injuries, seeking medical attention is paramount to ruling out serious harm and establishing formal documentation of your injuries.
- Report the incident: If applicable, be sure to report the accident to the appropriate authorities, such as local law enforcement or workplace management.
- Document the accident: Taking photos and videos of the accident scene, collecting contact information from eyewitnesses, and keeping organized medical records can provide vital evidence to strengthen your claim and establish liability.
- Refrain from providing statements without an attorney present: Insurance companies have a reputation for avoiding just payouts however they can. It's best to refrain from sharing details or statements with insurers and other involved parties without a lawyer present to improve your chance of obtaining fair compensation.
- Secure experienced representation: Seeking sound counsel from an experienced personal injury lawyer is vital to achieving a favorable outcome in your case. Your attorney can provide legal guidance and advocate for justice on your behalf.
