Injuries at Sea, the Jones Act and Compensation
Tracey Law Firm — Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi
Accidents and injuries that occur on the water are usually covered by a unique and specialized body of law known as admiralty or maritime law.
When individuals who work on a marine vessel are hurt, their injury and wrongful death claims are most often governed by federal legislation known as the Jones Act. People who are injured in a non-working capacity such as while on a cruise ship or fishing charter have their claims governed by maritime law in general.
