Texas Admiralty Law Attorney
The law firm of Dodson, Hooks & Frederick, APLC, has obtained millions in compensation for workers who have suffered offshore injuries under the Jones Act and for lost wages under penalty wage statutes. We have represented individuals throughout Louisiana, the United States and around the world. Our lawyers are recognized throughout the industry for their ability to confidently obtain results.
Getting compensation under the Jones Act and other maritime laws is very complicated.
The Jones Act states that the negligent employer must compensate an injured seaman for damages received as a result of an injury. General maritime law states that a vessel owner must compensate an injured seaman for transportation, wages, maintenance and cure without regard to liability. If the injury was due to negligence, our law firm would seek additional compensation for pain and suffering.
