An injured seaman or maritime worker should always consult an experienced Jones Act attorney when attempting to settle a claim resulting from an injury at sea involving Jones Act or Maritime Law issues.

The Jones Act, the federal maritime law applicable to qualified seaman, is an incredibly convoluted and complicated portion of maritime law. It can at times be even considerably more complicated than the laws and claims which are covered under standard workers compensation laws.

An Alabama Jones Act lawyer, such as the lawyers with Burwell Nebout, possess the specialized knowledge of maritime law in addition to the ability to prove a personal injury negligence claim in court in order to effectively recover full and just compensation for an injured seaman.
