New Jersey Jones Act Lawyers | Maritime Accident Attorneys

The Jones Act protects crew members of a vessel in the event they are injured. This law applies to inland river workers and offshore crew members who work on jack-ups, semi-submersibles, barges, drill ships, tugs and towboats, crew boats, dredges, floating cranes, tankers, cargo ships, fishing vessels, chemical ships, research vessels, construction barges, diving vessels, cruise ships, recreational boats, and other floating or movable vessels.  if you become injured on or near the water, you should talk to a New Jersey maritime law attorney before making a claim or as fast as possible thereafter.
