Rain and a wet, slippery road do not give drivers a free pass.

Drivers still have to slow down, keep a safe distance, use proper tires, and adjust to the conditions. If someone crashes because they were driving too fast for the weather, the rain may not be the excuse they think it is.

Being hired through a contractor or staffing agency doesn't automatically cut you out of Jones Act protection. Courts look at who controlled your work and how much time you spent aboard the vessel, not who issues your paycheck.

If the vessel owner directed your day-to-day work, they can be held responsible for your injury too.

In Texas, it is mandatory for employers to display information about their workers' compensation coverage.
