What Are My Rights?

Injured persons usually don’t know what their rights are. Employers and insurers sometimes mislead injured mariners regarding their rights. For example, some maritime employers mistakenly treat maritime injuries as state workers compensation claims without ever advising the injured mariner of rights they have under federal law (including The Jones Act and general maritime law).
