Gulfport Jones Act lawyers are the legal professionals in southern Mississippi who provide legal counsel and representation to the maritime workers injured in the course of their employment. The Jones Act, also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, protects sailors and other seamen who are hurt on the job or made ill by their job conditions anywhere in the U.S.
The Gulfport, Mississippi area is home to a sizable fishing community. In addition, 200-plus-acre Port of Gulfport handles more than two million tons of cargo each year as the third-busiest container port on the Gulf of Mexico. Many individuals in the area are employed in jobs related to maritime industries, and it is Gulfport Jones Act lawyers who help these individuals when they're hurt on the job.
Hurricane Katrina (August 2005) hit Gulfport very hard, destroying much of the city. However, Gulfport continues to rebuild, and many businesses have returned to the area.
