Understand How the Jones Act Protects Injured Seamen in Metairie
The maritime industry is fraught with obvious and hidden dangers. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines carefully regulate the industry to protect its workers as much as possible.
The Jones Act was enacted to protect sailors, and it gives eligible workers the right to:
- File a legal claim against an employer if negligence caused or contributed to your accident
- Financial compensation for accident-related economic and non-economic damages
Our Metairie Jones Act maritime accident explosion injury lawyers provide direction and support when you need it most. We will review your claim at no cost or obligation and define your financial recovery options.
It Costs Nothing Out of Your Pocket to Hire Our Jones Act Injury Lawyers
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we cover any and all costs associated with preparing your case. It also means we are not compensated until you are, providing risk-free legal service and support.

Financial Recovery for Jones Act Maritime Explosion Injury Victims in Metairie
Our law firm will fight for financial compensation under the Jones Act for injured sailors and families who lost a loved one in a maritime explosion accident. If you are covered by the Jones Act, you could seek:
- Medical bills throughout your recovery and rehabilitation. These expenses are covered until you recover or reach maximum medical improvement.
- Lost wages until you can return to work. You can also recover damages for your loss of the ability to earn wages in the future due to your injuries.
- Pain and suffering for the discomfort and inconvenience of your injuries, treatment, and the rigors of the recovery process.
- Disability and disfigurement for short- and long-term disabling injuries, including living with scarring and disfiguring injuries.
- Wrongful death damages to pursue the costs of the decedent’s funeral and burial. We also seek compensation for your loss of financial and household support, consortium, companionship, and guidance.
We avoid speedy settlements that might not sufficiently compensate you. Instead, we take time to carefully and accurately assess and document your individual and collected damages. Our goal is to achieve maximum compensation for you and your family.
The Sooner We Get to Work on Your Jones Act Claim the Better
It is never too soon to hire our client-focused law firm. Jones Act claims have a statute of limitations, generally three years, per U.S. Code 46 § 30106.
Failure to comply with the filing deadline could prevent you from seeking compensation at all and leave you with no available legal recourse.
Our Jones Act maritime accident explosion injury attorneys will file your lawsuit on time, including taking care of all required paperwork and forms. We take care of any other time-sensitive matters related to your claim while fighting for a settlement or verdict.
