Jones Act & Maritime Negligence


The Neese Law Firm represents victims of maritime personal injuries.  This is a complex area of law which requires an attorney with knowledge of General Maritime Law, Negligence & Products Liability, Unseaworthiness, the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, and state law.

Maritime personal injuries arise from explosions, falling pipes, slip and falls, defective tools and machinery, and unseaworthiness, just to name a few.  Maritime injuries can occur in many different settings, including on:

  • Container ships
  • Oil tankers
  • Tugboats
  • Crew boats
  • Barges
  • Derrick barges
  • Jack-up rigs
  • Semi-submersible rigs

If a member of your family has been seriously injured or has died, it is extremely important that you have an attorney review your case before you make a statement to an insurance company or sign any papers.
