Get Started:
Located on Mobile River and the Gulf of Mexico, the city of Mobile is nearly 30 percent water and, unsurprisingly, largely stimulated by the maritime industry. Shipbuilding, commerce and dock work are among the various maritime fields that supply the residents of Mobile with numerous jobs and millions of dollars in revenue.
Despite boosting Mobile's economy, however, the maritime industry does pose unique risks to the residents of Mobile, particularly in the fact that individuals working maritime jobs are more likely to be injured (or killed) on the job than employees in other industries. Unpredictable weather, exposure to toxins and frequent use of heavy machinery are just some of the factors that make maritime jobs especially risky.
Due such elevated risks, the Jones Act (also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920) specifically protects the rights of maritime workers if they are injured on the job, however, they must be able to prove that the negligence or recklessness of a ship's owner, captain or crew member caused or intensified their maritime injuries.
Mobile maritime lawyers provide injured maritime workers with aggressive, professional representation to help them obtain the Jones Act settlements they deserve.
An individual who sustains an injury while working out on sea can benefit from consulting an experienced Mobile maritime attorney who is familiar with the Jones Act and can fight to ensure he/she recovers the full amount of compensation he/she is entitled to.
We provide free consultations and do not accept payment unless a court award or settlement is reached. If your injury prevents you from traveling, we can come to you. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury on the job, don’t waste another minute. Contact our Mobile maritime attorney today to see how we can help you.
