A seaman is a term that is defined under the Jones Act as an individual who is more or less permanently assigned to a vessel for his employment. The permanency has been interpreted as about 30% of his time must be spent on the vessel. If you are a seaman then you fall under the Jones Act and you have very special rights and remedies. Our office handles cases for seamen all the time and we will be happy to discuss your case with you if you have been injured on the water.
