Learn About Your Rights to Compensation Under the Jones Act from an Experienced Maritime Injury Lawyer
Beard Stacey Jacobsen are Jones Act injury claims lawyers that handle claims against Foss Maritime
Foss Maritime is one of the Country's leading maritime companies. Foss operates a fleet of 90 tugs and 95 barges throughout North America from their headquarters in Seattle, Washington. They have some of the most advanced and sophisticated equipment available. But even the best maritime employers have injury accidents.
Working aboard tugs and barges is hard and dangerous work. Crewmen with years of experience sometimes suffer serious injuries through no fault of their own. Few injury accidents at sea could not have been prevented if proper safety procedures were followed. When injuries happen through negligence or unseaworthiness, seamen are entitled to compensation under the Jones Act and the General Maritime law. Damages available include compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, lost earning capacity, medical expenses, and retraining costs. Injured seamen are entitled to full and fair compensation for their injuries and should not accept less.
