Brown Water (Industrial)
Brown water maritime law refers to the types of industrial waterborne activities such as offshore exploration, commercial diving, and pipeline and cable construction that occur around the coastal, inland, or estuarial waters.
Workers injured in these waters have as many rights as those injured in so-called “blue water” accidents. Under the right circumstances, longshoremen, seamen and sailors who are victims of accidents caused by negligence or carelessness can take action under either the Jones Act, the general Maritime law of the United States, state law, or the Longshoreman and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
