Sažetak
The paper presents the development of the Croatian national legislation regulating civil liability for damages caused by personal injury, health impairment and loss of life of seafarers. The first part commences with the historical background of this particular field of maritime law, which dates back to maritime customs of ancient Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures, including Athens and Rome, continues with legal regimes developed in the middle ages in the form of Lex Maritima, and provides an overview of the significant contribution of the statutes of the medieval towns on the Croatian coast of the Adriatic, emphasizing the elaborate rules of the Statute of Dubrovnik. This development continued in the period of formation of national states in Europe, and paper focuses on national maritime legislation of those states that had the most important influence as they used to regulate maritime industry in Croatia in times before it gained independence. The final part elaborates the development of the relevant legal regime in the Croatian Maritime Codes of 1994 and 2004, including the outline of its latest amendments and of potential future advancements.
