Summary/Abstract: The crew of maritime ship includes the captain and other personnel who are entered in the crew list to perform different duties on ship. In this paper, authors analyse and compare the legal sources of the Croatian law on liability for damages caused by physical injury, death or health impairment of a crew member (seaman or seafarer). The authors describe legal provisions contained in the derogated Maritime Code (1994), the present Maritime Code (2004)and the Civil Obligation Act (2005). In their concluding remarks, they point out that the Croatian legal solutions could be regarded as being very successful.
