Admiralty - Maritime - Jones Act Claims - Death on the High Seas

Admiralty law is also referred to as maritime law. It is a distinct body of law governing the legal affairs and dealings between ship owners, crewmembers, passengers and cargo on the high seas and other navigable waters. Maritime law also applies to longshoremen, construction and other workers who provide support to ships while in anchorage as well as victims of maritime air accidents.

At the law firm of AndersonGlenn, LLC, located in Florida, our attorneys have provided legal services in admiralty law, since 1990. Both legal training and personal maritime background provide a unique perspective and offer a distinct advantage in our ability to resolve our clients’ admiralty law problems.
