Jones Act Lawsuits
Jones Act Lawsuits Working aboard a ship at sea can be very dangerous at times, and while most employees who do this kind of work are aware of the risks, they may not realize they could be entitled to monetary compensation if they are injured while at sea. A Jones Act lawsuit is typically brought forth because the employer failed to do everything possible to provide a safe work environment. Just because an injured employee knew the risks involved with their work does not mean they can’t be compensated should they become injured.
In addition to past and future compensation, an employer may also face suits that claim the ship was not seaworthy. If you or a loved one has been injured while working aboard a sea ship, you should find an attorney who understands and has experience dealing with Jones Act cases to determine if entitlements are due.Apply Today
