Thibodaux , Louisiana Jones Act lawyers help the residents of south central Louisiana who work in the maritime industry. The Jones Act covers individuals who are injured at sea or during work that contributes to the voyage of certain vessels, and many Thibodaux-area residents are thus covered by this federal law.

However, the Jones Act is a remarkably complex field of law with many limitations and restrictions. A specific injury or illness, employee or vessel may not seem an obvious component covered by the Jones Act, but a knowledgeable attorney is the professional who can help determine an individual's rights under the Jones Act.

When a worker is found eligible for Jones Act benefits, he or she may receive compensation for some or all of the following losses:

• Costs of medical care such as emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery and medication
• lost earning capacity — say, if the worker was making $40,000/year before the injury but is now able to make only $20,000, his or her lost earning capacity would be $20,000/year
• lost wages
• permanent disfigurement — e.g., loss of vision, hearing, or a limb
• emotional suffering
