Is the Jones Act the same as workers compensation? Not at all.

The Jones Act is not the same as workers' comp in any way. The only similarity is that workers' comp applies if you're injured at work just like the Jones Act applies if you're injured at work. After that there are no similarities between the two laws. Under workers' comp law you receive very little for your injury, you cannot file a suit directly against your employer and you're set with a scheduled payment under a statute. Under the Jones Act on the other hand you receive pain and suffering damages, you receive past and future loss of wages and fringe benefits and it's an actual negligence lawsuit against your employer. Call us today. Do not confuse your Jones Act case with any type of workers' comp case.
