What Is the Jones Act?
The Jones Act, also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, is the first line of defense for seamen and passengers who are injured on the water. Categories of protected individuals include seamen/crew members, longshoremen, and even passengers aboard recreational boats.
The Jones Act stipulates that boat operators have a duty of care towards passengers and employees. If this duty is breached and a negligent action causes injury, then you have the right to file a claim for damages.
