Houma Jones Act Lawyers

Houma Jones Act lawyers, less than an hour's travel from New Orleans, are the attorneys to contact when you have been injured in the course of your work as an employee in a maritime occupation. The Jones Act has been in force for over 90 years, protecting the rights of injured "seamen" to compensation for lost wages, medical care, and other benefits.

Many Jones Act Seamen in Houma

Houma , Louisiana is known as "the heart of America's wetland" (read: swampland) and "the home of Cajun culture." Many of the residents of Houma and the surrounding Terrebonne area make their living as:

charter fishing crews
shrimpers
fishermen
crabbers
oystermen
shipping industry employees

Although Houma was hit very hard by Hurricane Gustav in 2008, the area remains vibrant, employing many people who are covered by the federal statutes known colloquially as the Jones Act.
