Jones Act Lawyer

Bo-Mac Contractors has been named as the defendant in a Jones Act Lawsuit that was recently filed by an employee of the company. Daniel Bartee filed the lawsuit after sustaining serious injuries while working aboard a Bo-Mac barge, which was operating on the Mississippi River.

Bartee claims to have sustained serious injuries to his heart, lungs, and other parts of his body while working on the barge. The lawsuit  does not describe the details of how Bartee was injured.

According to the lawsuit, Bartee is claiming that the vessel was unseaworthy and that the negligence of his employer is the ultimate cause for his injuries.

The Jones Act works to protect seamen from injuries caused by the negligence of their employers and gives Bartee the right to file a lawsuit against Bo-Mac.

He is seeking damages for mental and physical pain, anguish, and suffering, as well as medical expenses, impairment, and loss of wages.
