Why Hire a Jones Act Lawyer?

If you are a maritime worker or seaman who has suffered a maritime injury while working as crew of a tanker, tug, barge, trawler, jack-up rig, semi-submersible rig, mobile offshore drilling unit, or other maritime vessel, you may qualify for certain rights and compensation under the Jones Act. The Jones Act defines certain seaman's rights, including the rights of maritime workers to seek and obtain compensation from their employers for injury caused by unseaworthiness of a vessel or the negligence of its owner, captain, or crew. So if you or a loved one have been seriously injured, know your rights under the Jones Act and other maritime laws and contact a Jones Act lawyer for help.
