Jones Act Attorneys

Jones Act attorneys spend years studying this complex field of maritime law in order to provide the most knowledgeable and effective legal representation to their clients (i.e., individuals who have suffered injuries that are eligible for a legal remedy based on the Jones Act). In fact, most Jones Act attorneys have experience as both maritime attorneys and personal injury lawyers — with the skills to obtain a financial remedy that compensates injured maritime workers for their losses.

Jones Act Law Firms: Near the Water

U.S. cities and states with coastlines or inland waterways are often the headquarters of law firms with Jones Act attorneys — for example:

Texas (e.g., Houston)
Louisiana (e.g., New Orleans, Lake Charles)
Pennsylvania
New York
California

Of course, these are not the only locales in which Jones Act attorneys are found; it simply makes sense that locations near the water — where ships, barges, off-shore platforms and other sea vessels traverse or are built or located — would have Jones Act law firms.

Jones Act Remedies

Jones Act lawyers protect the legal rights of the injured seamen and other sea workers when they are hurt during the course of their work due to the negligence of their employers. Even if a seaman bears some of the responsibility for his or her injury, the employer may be held liable for the remedies that the Jones Act laws can provide, such as:

compensation for past and future medical expenses
wage and fringe benefit loss compensation
rehabilitation and/or retraining costs
occupational therapy
pain and suffering
impairment or disability
loss of quality of life

In most Jones Act lawsuits, the employers' insurance companies provide the funds that compensate the injured worker for his or her losses.
