• Equipment failure
• Explosions
• Unmaintained decks resulting in accidents
• Diving accidents
• Collisions with other ships

These accidents can result in serious injury to the workers on a ship. Many of these injuries, such as brain injuries or spinal cord injuries, will result in extensive medical care and months of lost wages. In severe cases, these accidents can even lead to death, leaving surviving family members to scramble for financial security.

When you suffer from monetary and physical losses due to someone else’s negligence, you have a right to seek full compensation for all of your losses. With a deep understanding of the Jones Act, the injury attorneys at the Moore Law Firm can help you do just that.

Under the Jones Act, you can sue the negligent party for a number of damages, including present and future lost wages, all medical expenses, diminished capacity to enjoy life, mental anguish, and disfigurement. These damages can be terribly expensive, and your employer’s insurance company will be working hard to make you settle without going to trial.

We know the tricks insurance companies use to provide inadequate payments for injured workers. We will not settle until we are confident that you have received every penny you are due.
