Jones Act Attorneys
The Jones Act was passed in 1920 to help injured seamen recover. Working on or around water can be very dangerous and maritime workers have an increased risk of on-the-job injury.
Depending on the circumstances of an incident, injured workers in or around Alaska may be days away from medical care in the case of an emergency.
As a result, the Jones Act provides special legal remedies to help ensure that injured seamen get appropriate compensation and care following an injury.
Because the Jones Act is very complex, it is important to speak with an experienced maritime attorney who is familiar with the issues unique to the Jones Act and can effectively represent your claim.
