Sitting on the eastern tip of Texas, Beaumont is located on the Gulf of Mexico, near Port Arthur and the Sabine River. While this means that much of Beaumont's industries involve maritime occupations, the oil industry plays a particularly important role in Beaumont's economy. In fact, Exxon Mobil is one of the top ten employers in the city.

As a result, many Beaumont residents work as oil drillers, engineers, geologists and other petroleum employees.

Unfortunately, these occupations are inherently more dangerous than many other types of jobs. For example, exposure to toxins and frequent use of heavy machinery are two of the many factors that make oil work particularly risky.

Compensation via the Jones Act

When any maritime worker is injured while working, he or she will likely be entitled to compensation via the Jones Act. Also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, the Jones Act protects maritime employees and entitles them to compensation, should their injuries be caused or intensified by a ship owner's, captain's or crew's negligence or recklessness.

The Jones Act also allows families of deceased maritime employees to collect death benefits, in the event they are killed on-the-job.

If you have been injured while working in the maritime industry (or if a loved one has died as a result of his maritime employment), it's essential that you meet with an experienced Beaumont offshore injury lawyer who understands the Jones Act and can help you recover the maximum compensation for your injuries.

Our Beaumont offshore injury lawyers understand the lifelong hardships that often follow maritime injuries and are committed to helping families secure the compensation they need to get their lives back on track. For more information or to schedule a free consultation, contact us.
