About the Jones Act
The Jones Act is a federal law that is a part of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. The Jones Act attempts to allow injured sailors to obtain damages from their employers for the negligence of employers, ship owners, captains or fellow crew members. The law operates much like laws that protect injured railway workers.
