The Suits in Admiralty Act is a law that allows people who have been hurt in maritime accidents to sue the government. This law was created in 1920 and applies to cases involving ships and boats. It gives injured parties the right to seek compensation for their injuries.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Suits in Admiralty Act is a federal law passed in 1920 that allows individuals who have been injured to sue the government in admiralty court. This law applies to cases involving maritime law, such as accidents that occur on ships or other vessels.

Example: If a sailor is injured while working on a government-owned ship, they may be able to file a lawsuit against the government under the Suits in Admiralty Act. Similarly, if a passenger is injured on a government-owned ferry, they may also be able to file a lawsuit under this law.
