Two Kinds Of Cases Handled By An Oregon Maritime Lawyer

There are two different kinds of cases that can be handled by an Oregon maritime lawyer. If you are involved in either of these kinds of cases it would be prudent to retain the services of a qualified Oregon maritime lawyer.

There are times when a maritime contract, or a contract that relates to the navigation, commerce or business of the sea, including contracts to repair vessels is needed. This is one time that an Oregon maritime lawyer is necessary.

It should be noted that contracts for the construction of new vessels are not considered maritime contracts. Contracts for the purchase and sale of vessels is another area that is not covered. On the other hand, marine insurance policies are considered maritime contracts.

The other type of cases that are handled by an Oregon maritime lawyer are admiralty and maritime matters that arise out of an injury to one or more persons or damage to property that is related to a vessel on the navigational waters of the U.S. or in navigation during the course of traditional maritime activity. This activity has the potential for having an affect on maritime commerce which can also include injuries and property damage sustained on or by means of pleasure craft, as well as those sustained on or by means of the use of commercial vessels.

An Oregon maritime lawyer will also have knowledge and experience with the two federal laws that cover any injuries sustained by longshoremen, seamen, and harbor workers.

Hire an Oregon maritime lawyer if you find yourself involved in any claim or lawsuit that is connected with maritime or admiralty law.
