The Jones Act is a federal statute enacted in 1920 which allows an injured Jones Act seaman to sue his employer for the negligence of the employer or the seaman's co-employees and not be limited to the inadequate workers' compensation laws.

HANDLING:

Jones Act Seaman cases occurring on drilling rigs, production platforms, crewboat and supply vessels and aircraft servicing oil and gas production operations worldwide.
Jones Act Seaman cases on tugs and towing vessels on the intracoastal waterway and other inland waterways through America.
Injuries to crew members of ocean-going vessels of all types.
Injury and death cases involving the cruise line industry including passengers and crew members.
Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA)
Private pleasure boat cases from personal water craft (jet ski, ski-doo, etc.) to houseboats, sport fishermen and luxury yachts.
Unseaworthiness claims
Collision cases
Fishing vessel cases

CAUTION: Although Jones Act claims have a three-year statute of limitations (see FAQ#12) other maritime related claims may have as short a time as one year from the date of injury in which to bring a claim. See “Features”.
