Legal Help for Jones Act and Seaman Injury Claims – Seattle, Washington Lawyers

If you work in any capacity as crewman on a boat, ship, barge, tug, ferry, cruise ship, tour boat or commercial fishing vessel, you are most likely protected by the Jones Act. The act applies to maritime workers injured while working aboard vessels in navigable waters at sea and in rivers, lakes, bays and sounds.

Federal maritime law & the Jones Act covers the rights of maritime workers to receive financial compensation when they are injured or become ill while working aboard a ship, boat, barge, tug boat, ferry or other vessel.

Who Is Covered by the Jones Act?

The Jones Act applies to all crewmen working in the services of the vessel, from the captain to the cook to the lowest deckhand. Even entertainers on cruise ships are considered Jones Act employees.
