Gulf Coast Jones Act Attorneys
Geographically, Alabama's Gulf Coast is a small region of the state, but it features some of the most dedicated professionals in the area. From the fishing industry of Bayou La Batre to the oil and jack up rigs off Dauphin Island, Lower Alabama residents have a close connection to the water.
If you rely on the gulf or the rivers for your livelihood, you understand how devastating it can be to suffer a serious injury. Not only are you facing medical expenses, but you may also struggle with:
- Pain and suffering
- Partial or permanent disability
- Long term rehabilitation
- Lost wages during recovery
- Diminished ability to work
It is critical that you understand your rights. You may be entitled to more than maintenance and cure if your injury was sustained due to someone else's negligence. Our lawyers have combined for decades of experience litigating on behalf of marine workers in Jones Act and maritime injury cases.
