Maritime law covers legal matters arising on navigable waters, including cargo and shipping disputes, vessel accidents, injuries to seamen and passengers, and port operations. As a U.S. territory with busy ports, Puerto Rico sees these cases under federal admiralty law.
Seek medical care, report the incident, and document what happened with photos and witness information. Maritime injury claims, including those under the Jones Act for seamen, have specific rules and deadlines, so it is important to consult a maritime attorney promptly.
Many maritime disputes fall under federal admiralty jurisdiction and are heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, though some matters may proceed in local courts. A maritime attorney can determine the proper forum and applicable law for your case.
