Injury at Sea | Death at Sea

Boat Injury Lawyer | Jones Act Attorneys

Boat accidents involving recreational boats, such as jet boats or cigar boats occur frequently on all waterways in our country.  If you have been injured in an accident on a recreational boat, you may have a personal injury claim or something more, depending on your physical location at the time of injury or whether you were working on the boat.

If you are a maritime worker who is involved in a boat accident, your claim may qualify under the Jones Act in maritime law for a larger benefit than available under workman’s compensation.   The Jones Act was created to protect seaman in hazardous working conditions and compensate them for injuries caused by any negligence by their employer.

Whether you have been injured in a recreational boat accident or as a maritime worker, the law firm of Burwell Nebout has both a personal injury attorney and work injury accident attorney as needed to review your claim for compensation.
