Let's Go Beyond, to Bring You Back
You deserve the compensation you’re entitled to, call for your FREE Case Review today.
To seek compensation under the Jones Act, a seaman must be injured while working aboard a freighter, ship, research vessel, lay barge, crew boat, or another type of floating vessel. Furthermore, their injury must be caused by the employer’s negligence or the negligence of a coworker, unsafe work conditions, inadequate medical care, or an employer’s failure to rescue a seaman.
Depending on the type and severity of your injury, you may be able to ask for several types of damages. Seamen may seek damages for medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost income, future lost wages, pain, and suffering, lost earning capacity, and rehabilitation.
You have a limited amount of time to file a claim under the Jones Act after an injury or illness occurs. If you’ve suffered an injury while working aboard a vessel, let Wyly & Cook help. Schedule a consultation with our team by calling 713-236-8330.
