Working at sea can be dangerous. You are at the mercy of the vessel — and those responsible for running and maintaining it. When accidents occur, the resulting injuries or deaths can be devastating.
Fortunately, federal law gives sailors, seamen and their families the important right to bring a personal injury action against employers responsible for their injuries. This law, called the Jones Act, has many intricacies. To protect your rights and preserve your legal options under the Jones Act, contact our experienced maritime law attorneys as soon as possible.
At Hardy McKenzie Law, our attorneys have proven experience handling maritime tragedies under the Jones Act. We believe you should not have to suffer immense emotional, physical and financial harm due to the negligence of someone else. Our goal is to help you seek a fair and just outcome by exposing the truth in the light of the legal system.
Our firm is among the area’s leading litigation powerhouses. We stand on a strong record of significant cases. Drawing on more than 75 years of combined experience, our lawyers are well-equipped to handle even the most complex, high-stakes cases.
We obtained a $1.5 million verdict for a seaman who sustained permanent injuries on a vessel. The client recovered $165,000. In another case a woman was electrocuted when a barge hit a power line crossing the intercoastal canal. She was on the bank fishing and a power line fell on her, causing her death. $590,000.
