Maritime and Personal Injury

The firm has over 35 years experience in handling maritime personal injury and wrongful death cases. These cases arise from injuries to seamen, longshoremen, harbor workers, recreational boating, both in state waters and overseas. The firm has handled the well-known case involving the catastrophe in the inner harbor of Baltimore involving the sinking of the water taxi, as well as cases involving multiple injury and death resulting from the barge explosion in St. Mary's County, the collision of the M/V KASTNER with a tug in the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and other catastrophic recreational cases in the Chesapeake Bay. The maritime law is different than land-based law, and the attorneys at Salsbury, Clements, Bekman, Marder & Adkins are familiar with these concepts.
