Representing Crew Members, Passengers and Recreational Boaters
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a maritime accident, it is in your interest to contact a lawyer who is a specialist in admiralty and maritime law. Unique legal rules apply to accidents at sea, and you need an advocate who thoroughly understands these rules.
At Munch and Munch, P.A., we help injured crew members, passengers and recreational boaters — as well as the families of fatal accident victims — get the results they deserve. Our practice in this area is led by Jacob J. Munch, an experienced Florida maritime law attorney.
