			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the recent cruise ship disaster still in the headlines, the topic of Maritime Law has moved to the forefront of many legal aficionados.<br />
What exactly is Maritime Law? This facet of our legal system is also refer to as “admiralty law” or “ the law of admiralty”. It includes laws and regulations, including international agreements and treaties, which exclusively govern activities at sea or in any navigable waters. In the United States, it is the federal courts who have jurisdiction over maritime law.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsjournals/maritime/index.aspx">Maritime Law</a> covers legal affairs and dealings between ship owners crew members, passengers and cargoes on the high seas. This category of law originated from ancient customs of early Mediterranean seafaring nations. The earliest maritime law was said to have influenced the Roman legal system. Because the fundamental danger of this type of commerce, today’s maritime law is a mixture of ancient rules and new laws. The time honored principles of “maintenance and cure” are still used today. </p>
<p>Seaman who are injured on ocean going vessels as well as other navigable waters are covered under maritime law. Today, oil riggers that are not permanently affixed to the ocean floor are also covered under this law. If you are injured on the water, whether you are a seaman, an officer, a harbor pilot, an oil worker, a technician, a helicopter pilot, work on a tugboat, casino boat, barge, ship, supply boat, or on an oil rig you should talk to a maritime lawyer. </p>
<p>More than other facets of the law, maritime law has long-standing traditions and regulations that have been universally accepted by all civilized nations. The study of this fascinating aspect of our legal system is interesting and timely. It encompasses both new technology and the ancient past. What a unique and interesting history maritime enjoys!</p>
