What is Jones Act And How It Is Useful For Injured Seaman

The Jones Act is a federal law that offers seamen injury settlement rights and permits to file the case against employer for personal injury damages. Unlike, most land-based employees, seamen don’t seem to be entitled to workers’ compensation edges underneath either state or federal law. Thus, seamen cannot file workers’ compensation claims against their employers, The sole compensation that they’re entitled to receive for his or her injuries is through the Jones Act and also the general maritime law.

In general, a seaman could be a person — from crew member to captain – who performs noteworthy amount of work on ship or boat. Even, part time seamen are eligible for compensation for injury under Jones Act.
The Jones act allows seamen to sue his employer for such negligence. To recover all damages, we at Ledger Law can help you prove that due to negligence of owner or authority crew members you are eligible for hefty compensation.

I was clueless and didn’t know where and to whom I would ask for help at first. I am thankful a friend lead me to your office. I was directed as to what to do on how to file and get through to the settlement process.

Kierrah L. September 28, 2016

If Ledger Law could have ten stars, they’d get it! From day one of my inquiry to include follow up after my settlement, the staff at Ledger Law was there. I NEVER had to call them – they were always one step ahead of me, taking care of business professionally and in a timely manner. They settled my file, a very complicated case within a year, almost to the day. Once the agreement was reached, I received ALL of my funds in a couple weeks and it’s finally over, WOW! And to think I wasted an entire year thinking that I could settle on my own – what a dummy I was — it’s worth the money to pay an attorney, an expert firm like Ledger Law, as evidenced by the amount of money I received.. I could have NEVER negotiated such a large sum. The staff is friendly and professional, the company participates in an e-sign program (how convenient!) and never, ever left me hanging. Everything was completed via email or on the phone, perfect! Thank you Ledger Law for being even MORE than I expected – you rock! Your most admired client, Kelly R, Temecula CA
