Does the Jones Act Apply to My Offshore Injury?

The Jones Act, also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, is a federal law that allows a Jones Act “seaman” to recover damages from their employers for on-the-job injuries caused by negligence.

That means if a seaman gets hurt due to the carelessness of his employer or co-workers, he or she has the right to sue for FULL damages, including pain and suffering as well as lost future earning capacity. This is a significant benefit because most onshore and offshore employees are limited to seeking worker’s compensation benefits from their employers, which only covers medical bills and a percentage of their lost wages. The Jones Act also provides for maintenance and cure.

What is a Seaman?

While the answer depends on specific facts in each case, a “seaman” is essentially someone who does the ship’s work.

In order to determine whether the Jones Act applies to your potential case, contact our Undefeated Maritime Lawyers at 1-888-981-3395 or by sending us a confidential email here.

Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act Claims

While the Jones Act applies to workers aboard ships in port and at sea, the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA) covers individuals working on oil rigs and dry land. From loading and unloading vessels to working on a fixed platform in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean, if you have been injured on the job, we can help you win maximum compensation for your injuries. If you have suffered the tragedy of losing a loved one in a maritime accident, we can fight to obtain financial compensation for your loss as well.

In order to pursue a claim under the LHWCA, you must meet strict deadlines for notifying your employer and filing a complaint with the federal government.

If you do not act quickly, you may forfeit your right to recover damages and lost wages. Call our Undefeated Offshore Injury Lawyers at 1-888-981-3395 or click here to send us a confidential email through our Contact Form.

The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act

With the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), the federal government extended the benefits of the Act to employees working on fixed platforms off of the coast of the continental United States. Our Maritime Attorneys have used the OCSLA and other state and federal laws to help hundreds of clients obtain substantial damages for their offshore injuries.
