How the Jones Act Helps Edinburg Offshore Workers

For years, offshore workers were at the mercy of their employers when it came to safety. While maritime law required vessel owners to pay for the medical bills and cost of living associated with an injury, they only had to pay until a worker was as recovered as possible. This was known as maintenance and cure.  Then, in 1920, the Merchant Marine Act was passed. Referred to as the Jones Act, this law enables injured offshore workers to pursue their employer for the full scope of their financial damages. In other words, this law enables workers to pursue compensation that they need.

Damages that can be recovered under the Jones Act include:

A Jones Act vessel, as defined by the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, must meet specific criteria to operate in U.S. waters. First, it must be owned by U.S. citizens or companies, ensuring that control remains within the country's jurisdiction. Additionally, the vessel must be registered under the U.S. flag and hold a Certificate of Documentation from the U.S. Coast Guard, signifying its compliance with national regulations. Furthermore, to qualify as a Jones Act vessel, it must be constructed in the United States. The vessel must be operated by U.S. citizens or companies, guaranteeing that its activities are conducted in accordance with U.S. laws and regulations. These requirements are designed to uphold the integrity of maritime commerce within U.S. ports, safeguard national interests, and foster economic growth. 

Common Jones Act vessels include, but are not limited to, the following:
