Houston, Texas, Jones Act Attorneys

Unlike other injured people covered under workers' compensation laws, maritime workers injured while performing jobs on oil drilling platforms, boats and ships in U.S. coastal and inland navigable waterways, or docks and marine terminals, must file for relief under the Jones Act, also known as the Merchant Seaman Protection and Relief Act. Seamen, longshoremen and other maritime workers may file for benefits to cover health care costs and lost wages associated with their injury on the job.

In addition to the right to collect benefits under the Jones Act, maritime employees can also file personal injury lawsuits to seek compensation for their injuries. The maritime law firm of Doyle Raizner LLP represents people working on marine vessels and at land-based facilities throughout the Gulf Coast region from Texas to Florida.
