An injured foreign seaman may in fact be covered under the Jones Act in many cases. There are several factors used to make this determination and they include: where the injury occurred, the vessel's flag state, the location of the vessel's owner and operator, seaman's country of origin, the place of contract and the availability of a fair court system. An experienced maritime law firm is best qualified to advise a foreign seaman in this matter.
