Marine Personal Injury

The team advises on international and domestic personal injury cases, including those which fall within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court. We provide technical and practical advice based on day to day handling of those claims which involve issues which are particular to the marine environment:
• International carriage conventions
• The Package Holiday Regulations
• Merchant shipping regulations
• Collision regulations
• Cross – border issues

We recognise the importance of speed of response when advising on urgent and sensitive issues arising out of jurisdiction, applicable law, limitation, security and powers of arrest.
Our experience covers both the commercial and leisure sectors of the marine industry. We do not provide legal advice in isolation. All of team members bring practical “hands on” experience to their particular sector of expertise. The commercial and leisure teams benefit in equal measure from in house mariner expertise.
