Whether you are a harbor worker or an offshore worker in Louisiana, you have legal rights under maritime law. The Jones Act, otherwise known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, is a federal statute that allows offshore injured sailors to recover compensation from their employers in cases of negligence. If your accident and injury were caused by careless behavior from the shipowner, the captain, or even fellow crew members, you may be entitled to compensation.
Still, our experienced maritime law attorneys can help you navigate the complex legal aspect of the Jones Act and other protective statutes.
We pride ourselves on handling everything for our clients competently and professionally.
