Is the Jones Act workers compensation?

No. The Jones Act differs from workers’ compensation in that it requires an employee to prove their employer’s negligence before providing compensation for any injuries received during a barge accident or other maritime mishap. Workers’ compensation, on the other hand, pays for treatment regardless of who was at fault.
