Why should you hire a California Maritime Lawyer for your vessel injury or death case? We explain what a Maritime Lawyer is and why you probably need a California Maritime Lawyer for your California Maritime case. Don't trust your California Maritime case with a "dog bite lawyer" or a "car accident lawyer"

If your injury involves a vessel / boat then you probably need a Maritime Lawyer. A California Maritime Lawyer explains what to look for in a Good Maritime Lawyer

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.
