- Personal InjuryBoat owners can receive some protection from injury claims from our country’s Limited Liability law. Congress enacted the “Limitation Act” in 1851 in order to protect American shipowners from losing their fortune due to injury claims. If the crew or passengers aboard a ship suffered any kind of loss or personal injury while aboard the vessel, the boat’s owner will not be required to pay more than the value of the vessel at the end of the voyage.
