Workers who may qualify for protection under the Jones Act include; divers, fishing boat crews, tugboat crews, and those on ships operating in rivers and canals. If in doubt, a call to our law firm can help determine if you are eligible to file a claim for financial compensation under the Jones Act.

The decision to seek legal counsel is yours. Your employer does not need to help you find an attorney or even inform you of a possible Jones Act claim. By taking unusual care to manage an injured worker, an employer may try to influence their decision to hire an attorney. Statutes of limitations do apply in Jones Act cases. If you have been injured then don't delay. Contact an attorney soon to preserve your legal rights.
