Jones Act Lawyer in Anchorage, AK

Jones Act Overview

Being injured on the job can be a frightening and confusing experience —one that can leave you with many questions and very few answers. When you have been injured on the job, you need a lawyer who will help you recover the appropriate compensation for your medical bills, your lost wages, and your pain and suffering.
 
The Jones Act attorneys at Beard, Stacey & Jacobson, LLP, offer detailed support to clients injured on the decks of fishing vessels or floating processing plants. Often due to negligence or questionable repair of the vessels involved, these injuries fall under the Jones Act: laws enacted to protect workers from injuries sustained in the employ of uncaring vessel owners.

With the knowledge gained in more than 70 years of combined experience, and while representing countless clients in high profile Jones Act cases, we work diligently to address the concerns you may face following an on-board accident. Throughout your proceedings, we strive to ensure that you receive the benefits or compensation you are entitled to for your injuries, regardless of their severity.

Our work addressing various Jones Act situations has given us the ability to offer guidance to clients injured in a number of fishing boat accidents, including:

• Fishing vessels sinking in the Bering Sea
• Tug boats sinking and capsizing
• Parting tow lines
• Crab boats sinking in Oregon, Washington and Alaska
• Fires and explosions aboard processing ships
• Cargo handling accidents
• Crane and winch accidents
• Failure to provide prompt emergency medical attention

With the best interests of all seamen in mind, our attorneys work to help you recover compensation for injuries sustained aboard all manner of vessels, including fishing vessels, fish processors, crab boats, tug boats, ships, ferry boats, derricks, barges, dredges and all other types of vessels.
