Jones Act Lawyer

In a recent lawsuit against Houston Marine Services, Inc., plaintiff Frank Joseph Drone is suing for negligence of the crews in the scope of their employment and general unseaworthiness of the defendant’s vessels.

Plaintiff alleges to have been injured on or about September 2005 as well as November 2007. His injuries include pain, anguish, and impairment.  He expects his bad health to continue indefinitely.  Drone claims the defendant unreasonably refused to take care of his injuries, known as “maintenance and cure.” Drone was employed as a deckhand on board the HMS America and Miss Jennifer Ann. 

The Jones Act protects seamen’s rights and health from negligent conduct on the part of their employers. If you have been hurt while working at sea, call 866-950-9000 to speak with a Jones Act lawyer about your case today.
