Injured Maritime Seaman Attorneys
The Jones Act is the United States federal law which protects the rights of a seaman injured in the course of his or her employment. An injured seaman (or the family of one who has been killed) is entitled to recover money damages if the employer's negligence played any part, even the slightest, in causing the injury.
