Injured maritime workers have relied on the Jones Act since the 1930s, when the need for a uniform law to protect the rights of seamen and offshore workers injured at sea finally became so great that Congress was forced to act. Workers who are injured on a vessel in a navigable waterway within the scope and course of their job can rely on the Jones Act in order to hold an employer accountable for damages.
At the law office of Gordon, Elias & Seely, LLP, we work with seamen and longshoremen from the fishing ports of Alaska to the oil rich Gulf Coast. Our goal is to put the full force of the Jones Act to work for injured maritime workers, and help you recover the compensation you and your family need.

When You Have Been Injured At Sea
As a full service maritime law practice, our office is also able to help clients who may not be covered by the Jones Act. The Jones Act limits who is covered by the law. We can help seamen and maritime workers pursue compensation that is not covered by the Jones Act including third party longshore claims and workers covered by the Longshore and Harbors Compensation Act.
We Can Provide the Help You Need
The law firm of Gordon, Elias & Seely, LLP handles all Jones Act cases on a contingency basis. Stated plainly, this means "no recovery, no fee." In states where the professional rules of ethics allow, we can provide our clients with an interest-free advance for reasonable and necessary living expenses while the case is proceeding. The statute of limitations in Jones Act claims is three years. If you have been injured in an offshore accident, it is best to act sooner rather than later.
