Ship Accident Lawyer | Jones Act
Shipping of any type is still a hazardous and dangerous business, sometimes resulting in fatal ship accidents. Seamen receiving ship accident injuries may qualify under the Jones Act in maritime law for full compensation of damages if resulting from the employer’s negligence.
In addition for injuries caused by negligence, a seaman injured in a shipping accident may also have a claim against the vessel's owner on the basis that the vessel was not seaworthy and against the employer for failing to provide adequate medical care.
An experienced Jones Act attorney can aid a seaman with an injury claim, and maximize recovery of maintenance and cure due under maritime law. Whether the injury is a construction or deckhand injury, a proven Jones Act Lawyer will aggressively pursue all possible sources of recovery for an injured seaman.
