Houston Jones Act

You need an experienced Houston personal injury attorney who cares about your case, your health, and your future. What is Maritime Law / The Jones Act? Most people understand that the law is divided into jurisdictions. Get injured in Texas, then Texas law applies. Get injured in Louisiana, then Louisiana law applies. But it gets a bit more complicated when the injuries happen on the open seas, in a harbor, or in intercoastal waterways around Texas. Likewise, it can get especially confusing if the injuries happen while you are working for a U.S. company on a vessel in foreign waters.
