Most Jones Act claims must be filed within three years of the injury, but important exceptions can dramatically shorten that deadline. Learn who qualifies as a Jones Act seaman, how limitation of liability proceedings can affect your rights, and why injured maritime workers should speak with a maritime lawyer as soon as possible.
If you were hurt on a boat, the law that applies to your case may be very different from an ordinary land-based injury claim. Jones Act rights, Maintenance & Cure, unseaworthiness — these are powerful protections that most personal injury lawyers never encounter. At Fulweiler llc, maritime law is not a side practice. It's all we do.
