Located on the Mobile River and the U.S. Gulf Coast, Mobile is the 3 rd largest city in Alabama, primarily due to its thriving maritime industry. In addition to its contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense, Mobile also has a flourishing dock and shipbuilding industry that employs many of the city's residents.

Despite being lucrative fields for many Mobile residents, however, the maritime industry also carries a significant risk of severe injury or death on-the-job. Regular use of heavy machinery, exposure to toxic substances and a variety of other factors can make maritime occupations particularly dangerous.

To protect these workers, lawmakers have enacted a distinct body of law known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 or the Jones Act. Like general workers' compensation laws, the Jones Act stipulates when injured maritime workers are entitled to settlements, should they be injured on-the-job.

When to Meet with a Mobile Offshore Accident Lawyer

Following a work-related accident and emergency medical care, injured maritime workers should meet with an experienced Mobile offshore injury lawyer to:

• Learn more about their legal rights.
• Find out if the Jones Act entitles them to compensation for their injuries and losses.
• Learn more about the process associated with securing a settlement via the Jones Act.
• Get expert advice regarding the best manner in which to pursue their case

Those who decide to work with Mobile offshore accident lawyers can benefit from:

• Access to a network of experts who can verify their claims when official testimony is needed
• Aggressive, professional representation in court, mediation and/or arbitration proceedings
• Delayed payment for legal services, as Gulfport offshore accident lawyers work on contingency to encourage injured parties to stand up for their legal rights
