The U.S. Gulf Coast is a dynamo of labor and commerce. It boasts 1,680 miles of coastline, from which 33 major rivers flow into the sea. It generates billions of dollars of income for millions of workers. It hosts major offshore drilling rigs keeping America energized with oil and gas.
Texas alone has 367 miles of coastline on the Gulf of Mexico and more than 1,000 miles of channels. And Texas’ 16 ports create almost a million jobs sparking $48 billion in annual income. Still more commerce and employment blossom in the Gulf Coast states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
Yes, the Gulf Coast is about hard work and endless energy. It’s about honest labor and families’ livelihoods. It’s about life.
But sadly, it’s also about death or serious injury for those who work on or near its rippling waters.
Maritime workers perform some of America’s most hazardous jobs, and even highly skilled employees can be felled by a myriad of marine risks. Such Gulf Coast seamen, sailors or maritime workers may face debilitating injuries including crushed limbs, a broken back, amputation or paralysis. They may be able-bodied seamen one day and forever unable to work the next.
In short, Gulf Coast maritime workers need legal financial protections for the dangerous jobs they do. And that protection exists — in the maritime law known as the Jones Act.
What is the Jones Act? What is Jones Act law?
This far-reaching federal maritime law enables injured maritime workers to seek economic recovery for their maritime injury losses, including medical costs, lost wages and pain and suffering.
It enables them to sue an employer whose negligence or inadequate safety caused their injury — a right which does not exist under general maritime law. And the Jones Act gives them the option of having their Jones Act lawsuit tried before a jury of their peers either in a U.S. District Court or in a state court — their choice.
