Jones Act claims against
Waterman Steamship.

Waterman is a "deep sea ocean carrier" operating U.S. flag vessels in
liner service and time charter between the USA and Middle East ports.
Our client was injured severely while working for the company. In his
lawsuit, he seeks damages for medical bills, lost past and future
