Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Accident Attorney
Have you been in an accident on the AIWW?
Throughout American history, the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) has served a variety of purposes. Called "America's oldest highway," commercial ships have used it for nearly three centuries. As more and more people flock to the Florida coast during the fall, they use the AIWW for recreational purposes like tubing, water skiing and sailing. This makes for congestion, and, unfortunately, accidents do occur.
If you or someone you love has been injured on the AIWW, you need an Jacksonville waterway accident attorney who has the knowledge and resources to take on the big shipping companies and win. Our service is our legacy. Call Farah & Farah today for a free consultation.
Accidents on the Water
We handle commercial and recreational water accident cases that involve:
Admiralty and Maritime Law
The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway consists of a canal which runs along the Atlantic coast from Boston to the Florida Keys. The canal is one to two miles wide, with land on one side and islands--some natural, some man-made--on the other. It connects to open sea, and is partially man-made to carry commercial vessels. Therefore, whatever happens on the AIWW is governed by admiralty law.
If you are involved in an accident on the AIWW, finding a Jacksonville maritime lawyer who is familiar with admiralty law is essential. Otherwise, you might lose an otherwise winnable case. Call us today to find out more.
