Bulgaria’s sea spaces are regulated by the Law on the Maritime Spaces, Inland Waterways and Ports. The Bulgarian Maritime Law is the legislative body that regulates the use of the Black Sea and the Danube, as well as protects the safety of those navigating in open Bulgarian waters and the environment. In addition, the law establishes and maintains operations on Bulgaria’s waterways, including vessel speed limits, sea lanes, and passing parameters.
However, while Bulgaria’s maritime laws may appear extensive enough to keep open waters safe, in reality, regulations are often violated by passenger, commercial, and pleasure craft operators, leading to serious – and even fatal – accidents. Those responsible for an accident in navigable waters may be held responsible for injuries, and victims may be eligible to obtain compensation. Anyone who has been involved in a maritime accident or assault in this country would benefit from hiring a lawyer for maritime disputes in Bulgaria, one who specializes in International Maritime and Admiralty Law cases.
If You’ve Suffered an Injury on a Cruise Ship, You Need an Experienced Maritime Personal Injury Lawyer By Your Side
Personal injury cases involving navigable waters are not as simple as they may seem. If you’re familiar with U.S. laws and the U.S. court system, you should be aware that maritime cases do not abide by the same set of rules and laws. Oceangoing vessels are subject to their own set of laws and regulations that can be very complex and difficult to understand. That’s why it’s so important for you to consult an experienced attorney with a specialty in maritime and admiralty law.
We provide comprehensive legal representation for personal injury claims, from initial consultation to final resolution. Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations, gather evidence, and build strong cases to ensure our clients receive the compensation they deserve.
Cases We’ve Successfully Handled
Since 1971, we have successfully resolved thousands of maritime cases and obtained hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients. Ours is a tradition of excellence and integrity that we look forward to continuing for another 50 years. Some of our most noteworthy successful results include a more than $6 million award for the wrongful death of a seaman who died aboard a ship after being exposed to poisonous gasses and over $10 million on behalf of crew members of the El Faro, a cargo ship that sailed into a hurricane in 2006, leading to the deaths of all 33 crew members. This is only one example of the countless cases we have successfully resolved in our endless quest to protect those injured or harmed at sea.
