Louisiana man files Jones Act claim for unseaworthiness

A case has been filed in Jefferson County, LA against Marquette Transportation Co. Gulf-Inland.

Timothy J. Rogers alleges unseaworthiness and negligence in connection with serious injuries to his body and back while working aboard the vessel Mary Kay.

While not specifying how he incurred the injuries, the claim cites physical pain and suffering, mental anguish and loss of earnings. Rogers alleges the vessel was in dangerous condition during his time aboard it.

Rogers asks for a judgment exceeding the minimum jurisdictional limits plus court costs and attorney’s fees.
