North Carolina Jones Act Lawyers

The Jones Act was put into place to protect the crew of a vessel in case they are injured. Whether you are a seaman, an officer, a harbor pilot, an oil worker, a technician, a helicopter pilot, work on a tugboat, casino boat, barge, ship, supply boat, jack-up drilling rig or if you become injured on or near the water, you should talk to a North Carolina maritime lawyer before making a claim or very quickly thereafter.
