Nevada Jones Act Claims

For those Nevada residents that make a living as offshore workers, life can be a struggle. There is little worse than when a maritime worker is injured and cannot work. Unfortunately, maritime workers are not always covered by standard worker's compensation laws. However, the U.S. has implemented the Jones Act to fulfill the need for legal protection of maritime employees' rights.
