Houston Jones Act Lawyer
Maritime Injury Attorneys Houston
The workers’ compensation process for maritime workers can often be confusing and overwhelming. Government regulations are unique for nautical industries because of jurisdiction issues. To make matters more difficult, working on the water can be incredibly dangerous.

Safety and Health
The Merchant Marine Act (Jones Act) and the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) were created to make the process of getting benefits to injured workers quick and easy. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. If you have been injured while working on boats, ships, other nautical vessels, or onshore in nautical tasks, you may be eligible for Texas maritime injury benefits.
Why Hire a Lawyer?
Although the Merchant Marine Act and LHWCA were put in place to ensure injured workers get the money they need when they need it, there can often be a lot of red tape to wade through. Meanwhile, medical bills and prescription costs pile up and you can’t work to pay for them.
