Alabama Jones Act lawyers represent injured seamen — that is, the workers covered by the protections of the Jones Act, such as:

• sailors
• crew members
• lifeboatmen
• clammers
• tankermen
• scallopers
• engineers
• any person who furthers the mission of a vessel while he or she is assigned to the vessel or to a fleet of vessels

Moving Towards a Jones Act Remedy

Even a maritime worker who was not aboard the vessel when he or she was injured (in the course of employment) may be eligible for a Jones Act remedy. Alabama Jones Act lawyers are the legal professionals who will help determine whether an individual is covered by this statute.

In fact, Jones Act case law is very complex — more so than many fields of law. The Jones Act is not simply a maritime version of workers' compensation. An Alabama Jones Act attorney takes into account many factors when representing an injured client's interests, including:

• the nature of his or her work
• the employee's status as a member of the vessel (e.g., crew or captain, civilian or military, etc.)
• whether the vessel in question is considered a Jones Act vessel
• the vessel's operation in navigable waters

Alabama's Navigable Waters

Alabama has many miles of navigable waters, with ports on rivers and the Gulf of Mexico, including:

• the Port of Birmingham on the Black Warrior River, connecting to the Tenn-Tom Waterway
• the Port of Decatur, on Wheeler Lake
• the Port of Florence, at Florence/Muscle Shoals, connecting to the Tennessee River
• the Port of Guntersville, on Lake Guntersville
• the Port of Mobile at the Gulf of Mexico
• the Port of Montgomery, connecting to the Alabama River
• the Port of Tuscaloosa, on the Black Warrior River

Hundreds of men and women work in Alabama in jobs that are covered by the Jones Act. Any individual who is hurt on the job — or made ill by conditions on the job — should check with a lawyer regarding his or her rights to compensation.
