Admiralty

Since obtaining a Master’s in Law and Marine Affairs “LLM” (University of Washington School of Law, 1988), Mr. Mirsepasy has been assisting injured maritime workers, working for maritime vendors and solving maritime disputes out on the water. Maritime claims are different than land-based claims and require the special expertise of an admiralty and maritime lawyer. We have been involved in cases up and down the West Coast, as we are located in the maritime hub of Seattle, Washington, which is the “crossroads of maritime shipping, fishing and processing from the North Pacific, Alaska, the Bering Sea, the Puget Sound, Columbia River, and other maritime locations.”

Under maritime law, an injured or ill seaman is entitled to maintenance, cure, and unearned wages if they are injured or become ill in the service of the vessel regardless of fault. A seaman is entitled to additional benefits if the seaman can show that the employer was negligent or that the vessel’s equipment was unfit for an intended purpose.
