Yes. If the operator conducts business operations in the US or has sufficient contacts with the US you could get jurisdiction. More information is needed. Did the incident occur in US or international waters? Is the owner and operator the same? What type of boat is it?

You need to contact an attorney in the port area where the ship was based out of. If the brother was crew, then that is what is called a Jones Act case. If he was a passenger, then it's a wrongful death case. If you need the names of some attorneys let me know.

Is this case in federal district court (Admiralty rules and jurisdiction)? If so, I expect that you can request a hearing electronically. If you will send me the case number and district (There are three federal districts in Florida), I would be happy to look at it for you.

This is a complex question, and you have not supplied nearly enough information for an accurate answer. In general, native Americans, individually, are not sovereign, although their tribe may be to some limited extent.

I do not know and I am quite sure that you are not going to get an adequate response on this forum. It would probably be best to actually go see a local attorney who might have some experience in this type of law.

If so , have the company involved failed by allowing this to have taken place even in the knowledge that the Staff Captain lied on the form,and lawyers at the firm have also ignored this and many other instances of breaches of policy,procedure and company conduct?
answered on Mar 16, 2015
Did you actually go see an maritime attorney about this? That is always the very best thing to do, to go see an attorney. Maritime attorneys do not usually answer questions on this forum.
answered on Mar 23, 2015
Where was the court? Try to find out on the internet who the judge was. They are usually listed at the court website.

One would have to know a lot more of the facts before even trying to answer this question. Probably not is all I can say without knowing more. You have to give any subdivision of the state 6 months notice before filing suit.
