In basic terms, the Jones Act provides protections for workers injured at sea because they do not enjoy workers' compensation protections like other workers who are injured on-the-job. The Jones Act allows injured seaman to bring a claim against their employer when they have been injured while working at sea.

Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
Wrongful death legal resources are critical for surviving family members coping with the unexpected loss of a loved one. When a loved one has been unexpectedly killed in a car or other accident because of the negligence of another party, the negligent party may be liable to compensate the victim's family for the harm they have suffered.
