All of these injury categories fall within the coverage of the Jones Act, however, there are time limits during which a claim must be filed, and failure to file within the time limits results in forfeiture of the claim. An experienced, qualified maritime lawyer can assist you in making certain that your claim is filed within the appropriate time limit, as well as other important aspects of your claim.
