Maritime Injuries

Maine has the fourth longest coastline in the continental United States, and Independence Law Maine is the state’s premier law firm for all cases arising from injuries caused by someone else’s negligence on the water, including:

  • Recreational boating collisions or mishaps
  • Swimmers run over by boat
  • Jones Act claims for seamen injured on the job
  • Injuries aboard day cruises

Maritime injury cases constitute a unique area of law, and many lawyers who attempt to handle these cases are overwhelmed by blind-spots that can easily capsize a case. At Independence Law Maine, we specialize in proving that your injuries were caused by the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company, or vessel. Having accomplished that, we single-mindedly focus on optimizing your recovery—physical, emotional, and financial—from your life-altering injuries so that you can regain your independence and get back to living and enjoying your life.
