La Ley de Buques Públicos y los Derechos de Marinero

Derechos de marinero

El abogado marítimo de California Preston Easley asiste a ambos de los Estados Unidos y no U.S. Los ciudadanos que sirven a bordo de las embarcaciones de propiedad de los Estados Unidos en la presentación de reclamaciones por sus lesiones en o fuera de las aguas de los Estados Unidos bajo la Ley de Buques Públicos

La Ley de embarcaciones públicas permite que los marineros que prestan servicios a bordo de embarcaciones de propiedad estadounidense (pero no necesariamente operadas por los EE. UU.) Recuperen los daños por sus lesiones. Esta ley se aplica al personal civil que preste servicio en los barcos de la Guardia Costera y los barcos de inspección, pero no a los marineros de la Marina de los EE. UU., Que generalmente no tienen ningún recurso para demandar a los militares.

Derechos del marinero de la Ley Jones – Los marineros lesionados y los propietarios agraviados también pueden presentar una demanda en virtud de otro estatuto oscuro de la ley marítima, la Ley de Demandas en el Almirantazgo.

El abogado de accidentes marítimos Preston Easley se graduó de la Academia Naval de los Estados Unidos en Annapolis, Maryland. Puede confiar en su experiencia en derecho marítimo para proteger sus derechos. Contáctelo hoy para una consulta gratuita sobre su caso.

Las disposiciones de la Ley de embarcaciones públicas permiten que tanto los ciudadanos estadounidenses como los no estadounidenses que prestan servicios a bordo de embarcaciones de propiedad estadounidense presenten reclamaciones por sus lesiones, independientemente de si el accidente ocurrió dentro de aguas estadounidenses. Tampoco es necesario que el buque en cuestión sea operado directamente por el gobierno; el hecho es que muchos barcos de propiedad estatal se alquilan a terceros contratistas, pero todavía están cubiertos por la Ley de embarcaciones públicas.

La Ley de embarcaciones públicas también choca con otra disposición de la ley marítima, la Ley Jones, el medio por el cual una amplia variedad de trabajadores marinos puede recuperar daños por sus lesiones (ya sea que el accidente en cuestión fue causado por imprudencia o negligencia). No hace falta decir que solo un abogado marítimo experimentado puede decirle si su reclamo por daños y perjuicios se persigue mejor bajo la Ley Jones, la Ley de Suits in Admiralty o la Ley de Embarcaciones Públicas.
