Admiralty / Maritime

Louisiana Personal Injury Lawyer Working in Offshore Accident Claims

When a maritime worker suffers an off shore injury, he or she is entitled to compensation. Under the Jones Act & General Maritime Law, many rights exist for a seaman injured in the course and scope of his or her employment.

However, too often, an employer may refuse to pay maintenance or delay the weekly maintenance checks. This creates terrible financial difficulties and hardship for the injured seaman and his family.
