Maritime Injury

Injured as a result of a Maritime Accident? You have rights; and Your Rights Matter.

Maritime Accidents are typically covered by what is called The Jones Act. Specifically, the Jones Act controls:
  1. The rights of Seamen.
  2. The compensation employees are entitled to should they be injured or suffer loss as a result of on-the-job incidents.
  3. The rights & compensation families are entitled to should their loved one suffer death as a result of an incident while working.
