1. It is indeed a fortunate time as Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama is advocating the cause of the sailors and workers at sea who have to work under extreme harsh and risky conditions and is extending the support for federal law which provides financial compensation to seamen who suffer injuries due to gross negligence of the employers. Equally credible is Mark & Associates, P.C. who is also championing the cause and is a maritime attorney committed to provide speedy claims for the sailors. Do remember to use their free email service for seeking confidential advice related to the maritime claim.

2. Another law related to maritime is Jones Act, a 1920 law and Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) which works for the interests of the maritime personnel. Hats off to Senator Barack Obama who has written to president of the Seafarers International Union and has expressed his solidarity for the cause of the seamen.
