Maritime Law and the Jones Act

The merchant shipping and fishing industries near Broward County, Miami and Ft Lauderdale are often dangerous places to work. Maintaining giant vessels and carrying hazardous materials can put workers at risk daily. The Jones Act and the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers Compensation Act are designed to protect maritime workers in the event of injury, and their families in the event of a wrongful death. Offshore employees or family members may be entitled to collect money damages to cover the cost of medical care and all expenses related to the accident, including lost income.
