American Samoa Lawyers

There are many talented attorneys on the islands of American Samoa. These islands are part of the Samoan Island chain located in the South Pacific Ocean. One of the largest employers in American Samoa is the United States Military, with many of the locals signing up for terms of service in the Army, Navy and Air Force.

 

The American Samoan High Court is a unique court, in that it is only one step below the United States Supreme Court. There is no federal equivalent to the American Samoan High Court. American Samoa otherwise enjoys the same court structure of other American jurisdictions, with a local prosecutor and public defender’s office.

 

An American Samoa hospital was recently sued by the family of a woman who died in the hospital. The family claims that the medical staff was negligent in not giving the woman a blood transfusion even after she had lost a great deal of blood during the birth of twins. The family of the deceased woman is seeking $1 million in damages.
