Offshore Workers Covered by Maritime Law, NOT Workers Comp

http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com (877) 724-7800 Maritime accident attorney Brian Beckcom wants to explain the common misconception regarding workers’ compensation insurance and maritime law for injured offshore workers. Watch this video to learn more about the difference between workers’ compensation and the Jones Act. At Vujasinovic & Beckcom, we often have injured offshore workers ask us if they are covered by workers’ compensation insurance after they have been hurt on the job. This common misunderstanding occurs frequently. Instead of being covered by workers’ comp, injured offshore workers are covered by maritime law and the Jones Act. If you can prove that your injury was due to company negligence, you should receive monetary compensation under maritime law. However, maritime law can be complicated and confusing and not many attorneys have experienced handling these types of cases. If you were injured offshore and have legal questions, contact Vujasinovic & Beckcom at 877-724-7800 and we will answer your legal questions for free.
