When Employers Fall Short, We Get to Work
Maritime workers have difficult jobs working on drilling rigs, barges, tugboats and container ships. Their employers must take steps to consider the conditions of the job and implement appropriate safety measures. If you are involved in a maritime accident that resulted in injury, your employer may fail to compensate you based on the damages you suffered.
Protecting Your Rights Under the Jones Act
The Jones Act protects you by allowing you to bring negligence claims against ship owners. However, you need an experienced attorney with an insightful point-of-view. At the De Leon Law Firm, our founder is a former insurance defense attorney. His background in building cases against claimants is your best asset in securing the compensation you deserve through settlement or litigation.
