Sexual Assault Aboard Ships
Nationwide Maritime Injury Claims - Beard Stacey & Jacobsen
Claims for sexual assault aboard ships at sea are in most cases governed by federal maritime law. The ship owner and the employer of crewmen have a duty to protect their passengers and crewmen from sexual assault while aboard the ship.
