Scuba And Commercial Diving Claims

Los Angeles—Orange County—Coastal Southern California
Ehline Law The Divers Attorney

The law firm of Ehline has the experience to represent professional divers, recreational divers and commercial divers who have been injured diving, during decompression or during travel to or from the dive spot.

Our accident attorneys understand the dangers along with the excitement of diving and often when diving is a part of a vacation resort or ocean cruise package the diver that is a novice is given only minimal diving education and training, before diving. This can easily result in injuries such as:

• The bends, which is Nitrogen narcosis;
• Decompression sickness, either type I or type II;
• Air embolism, causing lung damage;
• Injuries that are neurological including brain damage from anoxia or asphyxia;
• Drowning

As a recreational diver that has suffered an injury when diving there could be a personal injury claim against the resort, cruise ship operator, the dive sponsor, or the diving instructor, along with other parties. Federal admiralty jurisdiction might cover the claim if the dive spot was in navigable waters when the scuba diving accident occurred.

The Ehline Law firm represents divers that are involved in underwater construction, repair, maintenance and salvage operations, which are commercial, brownwater and hard had divers. This also includes the offshore oil industry and the injured diver often will qualify for seaman status under the Jones Act. This can make the injury claim qualify for cure and maintenance benefits, maritime negligence and for sea unworthiness.
