Most Common Maritime Laws

Jones Act - This act generally protects workers who are classified as seamen on cargo ships, oil drilling rigs, crew boats, barges, transportation boats and dredges. The Jones Act, not only protects the members of a crew, but the masters of that crew as well.

Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) - This act provides a comprehensive workers' compensation plan for maritime workers who are injured on navigable waters but do not meet the definition of seamen under the Jones Act.

Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA) - This act was originally passed by Congress in 1920 to provide compensation for widows of seamen who died in international waters. Typically wives, husbands, parents, and children may file a claim under DOHSA.
