What kind of cases or fact situations are covered by admiralty and maritime law? |
 |
| There are two types of cases or fact situations that are generally found under the admiralty and maritime law. The first is admiralty and maritime matters arising out of an injury to persons or damage to property related to a vessel in navigation on the navigable waters of the United States during the course of traditional maritime activity with the potential for affecting maritime commerce. The concept of salvage arises from recovery of damaged property that includes treasure and a damaged or a derelict vessel. The second area is maritime contracts, which are all contracts that relate to the navigation, business or commerce of the sea. |
