Book excerpt: "Understanding Your Offshore Injury: Insider Tips from a Jones Act Attorney that Could Protect You & Your Family" is a basic guide to maritime law and Jones Act law as it pertains to injured offshore or maritime workers. The book discusses basic laws and provisions that protect maritime workers; it also gives definitions of common terms such as "seamen," "maintenance and cure," and the "Jones Act." We wrote this book to clarify what you should do after an injury on an oil rig, vessel, barge, etc. It also answers common questions such as -"Should I hire a maritime attorney?" -"Should I return back to work after my offshore injury?" -"What is the definition of a seaman?" Lastly, the book strives to educate injured mariners about their rights and options. We think it's important that injured workers understand everything they can about what options are available to them and how certain actions might affect their future.
