Maritime and Jones Act Claims
The Jones Act and the general maritime law of the United States allow money damages for seamen injured on either the inland waters of the United States or on the high seas. Because liability in these cases depends on proving employer fault or unfit equipment, this highly specialized area of the law requires both extensive knowledge and experience.
Our maritime lawyers have successfully established fault on the part of maritime employers in thousands of cases, even cases which other lawyers have turned down. Our admiralty, maritime injury, and Jones Act attorneys have represented thousands of injured workers in 45 states over the course of 30 years. Our central geographical location (on the Mississippi River near St. Louis, Missouri) and our private airplane allow us to be at the scene within hours of a maritime injury. Early investigation by our team is vital to our clients' interests because the company will waste no time trying to minimize their liability.
Our maritime attorneys have represented clients employed in a variety of river and gulf industries, including:
- Offshore Oil
- Barge Operation
- Grain Transfer Platforms
- Shipping
