If you are a seamen or maritime worker who was injured on the job, you may be entitled to financial compensation under a federal law known as the Jones Act. The law gives injured seamen the right to sue their employer for work-related injuries when the injury was the result of the employer’s negligence. You may be able to collect a substantial financial sum from your employer to compensate you for your lost wages, medical bills, mental anguish, and other damages.
An injured seaman seeking compensation under the Jones Act must prove that his or her employer’s negligence (or carelessness) caused or allowed the injury to occur. For example, a ship owner, shipping company, or other maritime employer may be negligent for allowing the vessel to strike other vessels, docks, icebergs, or other objects while at sea or forcing employees to work in unsafe conditions.
The Jones Act gives injured seamen and maritime workers important rights to be compensated for injuries suffered as the result of an employer’s negligence.
