Why Do I Need a Maritime Lawyer for Offshore Injuries?

Offshore injuries often involve complex legal issues that differ from traditional workers’ compensation claims. These cases require a thorough understanding of maritime laws and the unique challenges faced by seafaring workers. Unlike standard workplace accidents, maritime injuries are governed by federal laws like the Jones Act, which outlines unique provisions for seafaring workers. Our firm is here to simplify the legal process and guide you through every step with confidence.

Our attorneys understand these complexities and are skilled in navigating federal statutes to ensure that injured maritime workers receive the compensation they deserve. We take the time to assess your case carefully and develop a strategy tailored to your specific needs. From determining seaman status to pursuing Maintenance and Cure, we are your trusted advocates for offshore injury claims. Trust us to handle the legal complexities so you can focus on your recovery.

What Does the Jones Act Cover for Maritime Workers?

Maritime work can be physically demanding and inherently hazardous, making legal protections critical for injured workers. The Jones Act is a federal law specifically designed to safeguard the rights of seafarers and other maritime employees.

The Jones Act provides essential protections for maritime workers injured on the job. It offers several types of compensation, including:

  1. Transportation and Wages: Ensuring injured seamen are transported safely to port and paid for lost wages incurred during recovery.
  2. Maintenance and Cure: Covering living expenses and medical treatment until the worker has fully recovered.

 

To qualify under the Jones Act, you must meet specific criteria, such as maintaining a connection with a seagoing vessel and sustaining injuries related to your job duties. The Voorhies Law Firm will guide you through this process and fight for the benefits you are entitled to.
