Special laws apply to accidents that happen on or near the water. These laws are substantially different from the personal injury and workers' compensation laws that apply to land-based accidents. If you hope to get fair compensation for a maritime injury, it is critical that you choose an attorney who truly understands maritime law.
At the law firm of Tabak Mellusi & Shisha LLP, we know maritime law, not only in theory, but in practice. Our team includes lawyers who served as engine officers and deck officers on blue water ships. We are the only U.S. maritime law firm with lawyers who are former Merchant Marine officers and who maintain their licenses in continuity status.
We are committed to getting you the full compensation you are entitled to under the Jones Act and other maritime laws, including compensation for medical care, lost wages and more.
Our comprehensive understanding of both shipboard operations and maritime law has proven critical because the success of a maritime injury case hinges on development of the facts. The unparalleled maritime experience of our attorneys enables us to quickly identify the essential elements in any maritime injury or boating accident case and develop an appropriate legal strategy.
Our combination of knowledge, technical skills and resources has earned us a record of success handling serious injury claims in New York City, nationwide and worldwide.
We handle all of our cases on contingency, which means you will pay an attorney fee only if we are successful in getting you compensation.
To learn more about how we can put our experience to work for you, call us at 212-962-1590 or toll free at 800-781-8419, or contact us by email. From our New York City office, we represent clients across the country and world.
