Ship Crewmember Injury Claims

The Jones Act, a federal statute encompassing a very substantial portion of maritime and admiralty law, is the applicable law for the claims of ship crew members injured while on the ship working. Jones Act claims are very complicated, and not a field of law that many attorneys specialize in.

An injured crew member is entitled under general maritime law of the United States to specific remedies, including maintenance; which is a daily amount for subsistence such as food and lodging during recuperation; cure, which is reasonable medical expenses; unearned wages to the end of the voyage or a contract for employment; and other remedies. The general maritime law also provides a tort remedy based on unseaworthiness, which is a strict liability type claim where the ship owner has a non-delegable duty to make sure the ship is reasonably for its intended purpose.

Our law firm collects a fee only if we recover for you. We advance, on your behalf, the costs to investigate and prosecute your injury claim. If we do not make a recovery for you, you owe nothing to us.
