Maritime Law

Maritime law is a treacherous body of law which is just as unforgiving to the unprepared practitioner as the sea is to the unprepared sailor. Maritime law is so, so difficult to get a grasp on. In maritime law - that glassy smooth water that you see today - can be 100 foot seas before sunset.

This web site is intended for both lawyers and the public. Maritime law is extremely misunderstood and confusing to the non - maritime lawyer (i.e., a Proctor in Admiralty). Thus, in this web site we have charted a course through the treacherous shoals of maritime law. Along the way we point out the seas, oceans, gulfs, bays, and rivers: from “admiralty jurisdiction” to “unseaworthiness.” And many of the uncharted hazards which give peril to the persons injured/ killed on the sea and attorneys that endeavor to represent them such as “limitation of liability” and “forum selection clauses” and “limitations provisions” and “The Athens Convention” and “‘Miles’ damages.’”

Your case falls under maritime law. Many say maritime law is the most complex body of law in America. The Turley Law Firm are California Maritime Attorneys and they strongly suggest that even if you do not hire The Turley Law Firm to represent you in your maritime injury/ death case, you hire a seasoned and experienced maritime lawyer. Hiring a lawyer may be the single most important decision you make. We strongly urge you to not hire an amateur. There are many lawyer websites that “say” they practice maritime law. Our suggestion - beware. It is easy to “say” that you are a maritime lawyer. Experience and leadership is another story. Do you really want a lawyer representing you that has no or a few maritime cases in the past?

You need the best California Maritime Lawyer for your California Maritime case. We don't try and suggest that we are the only good honest California Maritime Lawyers.

Make sure you hire the best California Maritime Attorney. Folks, anyone can call themselves a California Maritime Lawyer. You need to ask about the lawyer’s experience with maritime cases. Don’t accept vague generalities. How many Jones Act or vessel collisions or Rules of the Road cases have they handled? If it is only a handful, you need to steer clear from the lawyer. You don’t want your lawyer learning maritime law “on the job,” so to speak?

Are they a “Proctor in Admiralty?” The last thing you need is a “dog bite lawyer” or a “car accident lawyer” handling your maritime case. Not only will they sink your case, but you won’t have a PFD afterwards. Don’t cast your case adrift with a “land-lawyer.”

You don't need a "settlement Lawyer." If your lawyer settles every case cheap, the insurance companies know that also. The only way the insurance company is going to pay you full value for your case is if they think your lawyer can and will take your case to trial and will prevail. Otherwise, why would they pay full value? It's easy - they won't.

Offering Clients Peace of Mind

When you are seriously injured in a vessel accident, you need to know your attorneys are doing everything they possibly can to get you the best medical treatment and current benefits. You need to know that your legal rights are being vigorously protected. You need to sleep at night knowing you have the best lawyer for your case. We can give you that kind of peace of mind.

We put the client first. Always.

Always Tell The Truth - You Need To Win With The Truth

You only get one chance in court. If the Judge or Jury see you have lied to them or see you have been untruthful with them then they will vote against you. You need a lawyer that has the skill and courage to win your case with the truth. Always tell the truth when you are asking for money in a court case. Always. Juries and Judges will forgive a whole lot if you are honest with them. Nobody forgives someone that lies to them. Would you?

Everyone has bad facts or bad evidence in their case. Everyone. We are going to be painfully honest with the jury about any of these "bad facts." Sometimes when they are placed in the bright light of a court room, they don't seem so bad. Other times you are going to need to deal with the issue first. Tell the Judge or Jury about the issue from the beginning of your case

In some circumstances you may be better off letting the defense bring up the difficult evidence. It depends. One thing that doesn't ever depend is you being honest about everything. We understand how to win lawsuits because we present evidence honestly. We can help you if you have difficult issues in your case too. Call us. We can usually get past just about anything. You just have to be honest about it and fess up to it.

Whatever you think is the biggest potential problem with your case is the very thing you need to talk to your lawyer about the most. At the Turley Law Firm we encourage and expect a frank discussion of the issues with our clients. You deserve a lawyer that is going to present your case honestly. We will help you win your case with the truth.
