Special Interest Group
Personal injury cases in the maritime transport sector have, in their majority, a strong cross-border and even multinational component. It is necessary for personal injury lawyers, who defend victims of maritime accidents, that they can reach out to fellow lawyers practising in this area to exchange information, opinions and work together on such cases. PEOPIL is a great forum for this kind of exchange and interactions.
Often the Register and Flag of a ship where an injury occurred, its owners, managers, charterers, the Protection and Indemnity civil liability insurers, the classification societies, the port authorities, the multinational crews, are factors not restricted solely to one country. The claimants in a multi-victim maritime accident have often different nationalities and domiciles.
