Legal Answers
5 Questions Answered
Q. I need to place a lien on a boat but the owner has removed the boat without paying dockage and repairs.
A: Whether you have a valid lien and if/how you should enforce same are complicated questions of law that you should discuss in detail with an experienced maritime lawyer. However, if the Vessel is documented with the United States Coast Guard, the process of recording a lien is fairly simple. Here's some guidance from the National Vessel Documentation Center: https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Portals/9/DCO%20Documents/NVDC/NOTICE%20OF%20CLAIM%20OF%20LIEN%2012-2021.pdf.
Q. Maintenance and Cure, Jones Act applicability. Need Help
A: You should contact a maritime personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
Q. If i got hurt on a cruise ship as a passenger is there anyway i could get back my money i had to pay for the jones act.
A: Hello. Passenger injury claims are handled a little differently than Jones Act cases under maritime law. You're best bet is to consult with an experienced maritime lawyer about how you were injured and whether any legal remedies are available under the circumstances.
