Does a swimming accident trigger admiralty law jurisdiction? |
 |
Admiralty law jurisdiction is triggered depending on where the accident takes place, navigable or non-navigable waters, and whether the swimmer was on or near a boat at the time. If the accident occurred on navigable waters, admiralty law will apply to the situation. If the accident occurred on non-navigable waters, i.e. a land-locked lake, then admiralty law would not apply. In that case, the law of the state where the accident occurred would apply.
If you have been injured in a swimming accident, contact a personal injury lawyer in your area right away to secure your rights. |
