For the men and women who work the open seas—from deckhands and engineers to fishermen and commercial divers—the workplace is inherently more dangerous and unforgiving than any land-based job. When an injury occurs, their financial future hinges on a powerful but often misunderstood federal law: the Jones Act.
This legislation, officially the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, is the foundation of seamen’s rights under the Jones Act. It grants injured maritime workers the right to seek compensation from their employers for injuries caused by negligence. Understanding these rights and the legal pathways available is the first, most crucial step in securing the financial recovery you deserve.
