Maritime/Boating Accidents

Charleston Maritime Lawyer

The Barrow Law Firm helps seamen, barge workers, and other maritime workers and their families obtain compensation for maritime accidents and deaths. Such accidents are governed by the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, and other applicable federal laws.

These laws differ considerably from the liability laws that govern non-maritime workplace accidents. The injured seaman, for example, can recover compensation for suffering and emotional losses while an injured factory worker may or may not be entitled to such compensation, depending on circumstances.

As experienced South Carolina maritime attorneys, the Barrow Law Firm understands maritime law, and how to use those laws to help our clients obtain the compensation they deserve.

Call us at 877-434-4404 to arrange for a consultation. An attorney at our firm can evaluate the strength of your case and discuss how we may be able to obtain compensation for you.

Compensation for Victims of Recreational Boat Accidents

Our firm also represents victims of recreational boat accidents, personal watercraft accidents, drunk boating accidents, cruise ship injuries, and other serious mishaps. Many of these will involve admiralty law, too, such as when the accident occurs because of a defective harbor or navigational device.

A lawyer at our firm can discuss the strength of your case and how we may be able to obtain compensation and justice for you.

In cases involving maritime accidents and serious personal injuries, we seek to obtain positive results for our clients. The compensation we obtain for our clients enables them to receive the medical treatment and care they need to rebuild their lives.
