Admiralty Range
Maritime and admiralty laws are unique and foreign to many attorneys. I have more than 20 years of Coast Guard experience, followed by more than 10 years of private law practice. In the Coast Guard, I was a chief of a regional examination center and a marine casualty investigator, in addition to work aboard ships. These experiences provided me with a deep insight into the matters associated with maritime law.

a mountain group in northwestern Victoria Land (East Antarctica) stretching more than 100 km. The western spurs of the range meet the Ross Sea below the Adare Peninsula. Mount Sabine (3,850 m) is the highest peak. The range is composed mainly of Precambrian sandstone, clay shale, and limestone with granite intrusions in some areas. The range is marked by valleys filled with huge glaciers. Discovered in 1841 by an English Antarctic expedition under James Ross, the range was named in honor of the British Admiralty.
Admiralty and maritime law governs disputes that arise on vessels operating on the ocean and some other bodies of water. Common suits brought under admiralty law include damaged cargo, injured seamen, collisions between vessels, and maritime pollution.
One of the key components of any legal dispute is the determination of jurisdiction, i.e., which court has the authority to hear and resolve the case. One of the principal ways of establishing jurisdiction is based on the physical location of some important aspect of the dispute, e.g., where an injury occurred, where a contract was signed, or where business was conducted. When the issues relating to a legal dispute arise on a ship in the ocean, or on a lake or river, that determination can be more challenging. In response, a vast body of law, known as admiralty or maritime law, has developed. This area of law governs a broad range of matters related to navigable waters in and connected with the United States.
As shipping was one of the earliest forms of intra-country commerce, it should come as no surprise that admiralty and maritime laws have been around for thousands of years. Both Byzantine and Roman legal codes contained laws governing trade on the high seas. In England, the first admiralty laws were enacted by Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.
The laws of admiralty govern most legal issues that arise on the navigable waters within and contiguous with the United States. Admiralty (or maritime) law addresses a wide range of issues, including personal injuries sustained by workers or passengers on watercraft, cargo damage, collisions on the high seas, salvage operations, and maritime product liability claims.
All new maritime workers need to know what admiralty law is and how it can protect them should they be injured while performing the duties of their job. Admiralty law or maritime law combines the United States and international laws governing shipping and navigation on open waters and the high seas. The laws cover a wide range of areas, including:
Today, admiralty and maritime law are considered one and the same. However, at one time, they were two different things. Originally, admiralty law referred to judicial courts that heard cases relating to torts and contracts on open waters. Maritime law referred to cases related to wages, working conditions, and other hazards seamen faced.
Admiralty law covers a wide range of legal areas. Among those, general maritime law provides remedies for injured seamen, longshoremen, dock workers, harbor workers, and others. The Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act, the Admiralty Extension Act, and other acts also provide specific rights and legal remedies for maritime-related accidents where workers are injured.
The United States Coast Guard serves as the enforcing agency for admiralty jurisdiction laws for all oceans, lakes, and bodies of water around and inside the United States. However, local law enforcement agencies can also enforce admiralty laws for interior bodies of water.
States specifically have no control over open waters in most jurisdictions. As such, admiralty cases that go to court are typically heard in federal district admiralty courts. While admiralty law applies to federal laws and federal cases, there are times when state courts are allowed to hear admiralty cases.
Many types of accidents and injuries can occur on land or at sea that can fall under admiralty jurisdiction. However, there are often specific laws or acts that will apply based on the circumstances in the case.

The laws affecting maritime and admiralty cases are complex and ever-changing. The attorneys at Davidson Meaux understand the intricacies of admiralty law and represent a wide range of maritime and admiralty clients. We are able to adapt to the needs of each individual case.
Because admiralty laws are very specialized, attorneys who practice in this area must possess the experience and knowledge to effectively represent their maritime clients or those who have been injured or suffered losses at sea.
At Griffin & Bivalacqua, we have built a successful admiralty practice that encompasses all aspects of maritime law.Our experience includes representing clients involved in boating accidents, groundings,collisions, and spills.
At Griffin & Bivalacqua, we have helped businesses, individuals, and communities recover compensation for property damages,loss of profits, loss of natural resources, loss of earnings, real damages, and loss of commercial use related to spills and admiralty accidents.
