Maritime workers perform essential jobs both on and offshore. However, working at sea presents many dangers, especially in cases of negligence. Our firm represents clients whose rights under the Jones Act have been violated, and who want to pursue damages for the harms they suffered.
What is the Jones Act?
The Jones Act gives maritime workers the right to pursue a lawsuit against their employer if they are injured at sea due to the negligence of the owner of the ship, the captain of the ship or other crew members. Under the Jones Act, injured maritime workers can pursue recovery for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages.
