Admiralty / Maritime Lawyers in Los Angeles
Admiralty law, also known as maritime law, is the law that applies at sea. In the United States, the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, commonly known as the Jones Act, exists as a form of workers' compensation for injured seamen.
Under the Jones Act, if a seaman is injured, he or she has the right to take the shipowner to court for personal injury or wrongful death damages, with the right to a jury trial. Seamen are persons who spend more than 30% of their working hours on an assigned vessel. Any person meeting this requirement who suffers an injury would be enabled to pursue damages through the Jones Act.
