Maritime Personal Injury Law

I recently wrote about a personal injury and why a victim should seek a consultation with an attorney. Recently, Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama has pledge his support for a maritime legislation that provides financial compensation for seamen and crew who have been injured at work as a result of their employer's negligence.

I think this is great news for seamen who would be able to receive their rightful compensation should the untoward happen, but still, in any case, whether this law is passed or not, an injured seaman should still seek the assistance of a maritime attorney to ensure that he is duly compensated.

We all know how employers would tend to pay as little compensation as possible in such an event. Therefore, it's important to have an experienced maritime attorney to fight for one's rights.
