Mississippi Jones Act Attorney

Biloxi Maritime Lawyers

The Jones Act is a part of maritime law that allows injured seamen to sue their employers for negligence. Jones Act cases are very different to Workers' Compensation claims and require that you prove negligence or wrongdoing caused your injuries. If you believe that you may be entitled to compensation under the Jones Act, you need the help of an experienced Mississippi Jones Act Attorney.

We are dedicated to helping everyday people get their fair chance in court. We represent individuals and families who have been injured by the negligence and wrongdoing of others.
