The Jones Act
Maritime workers are covered by their own set of laws to protect their livelihood. The Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (better known as the Jones Act) provides offshore workers with the right to recover compensation immediately after suffering an injury.
The Jones Act requires maritime employers to pay for medical care and living expenses (known as “maintenance and cure”) for any worker injured on the job, no matter who was at fault. The law also ensures that offshore workers can pursue negligence claims against their employers if they feel they were working in an unsafe environment.
Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act
The Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA) is a federal law that covers onshore maritime workers, including stevedores, ship builders, and longshore workers, among others. The law ensures that workers receive medical care, disability compensation, and death benefits from injuries arising at work.
If you are an onshore maritime worker and you believe you are being denied compensation for an injury that should be covered by the LHWCA, contact one of our Sarasota Morgan & Morgan lawyers. Our team has the knowledge, experience, and resources to pursue any compensation you have been unjustly denied.
