Florida Jones Act Lawyers
Any maritime industry comes with a significant degree of danger, and it is crucial that owners, captains and crews work to prevent avoidable accidents.
We are able to represent clients from Pensacola to Fort Lauderdale, including busy ports such as Tampa and Miami. Whether you are a crew boat captain or a deckhand, you are equally protected under the provisions of the federal Jones Act.
Put simply, under the Jones Act, workers are allowed to seek recovery for past and future damages, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Disfigurement
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
If you've suffered marine vessel injuries in the normal course of your work and as a result of the negligence of a crew member or superior on an American flagged vessel, then you may be entitled to additional compensation above and beyond maintenance and cure.
Our office can help you pursue that compensation.
