Texas Jones Act Lawyers

The Jones Act, the federal law regulating shipping in the United States, also extends protection to injured seamen. Texas Jones Act injuries are not the same as workers' comp injuries or Longshore claims.

With 350 miles of coastline, and the ports of Houston, Beaumont, & Port Arthur, Texas Jones Act claims are numerous. Additionally, Texas boasts more than 1,000 port facilities, and more than 1,000 miles of navigable channels. Texas ports handle cargo that ranges from passengers to crude oil, lumber and paper, steel, agricultural products, consumer goods, chemicals, containers, aggregate, automobiles, construction equipment and strategic military cargo.

Naturally, because of Texas’ vast economic and natural resources, offshore oil production, fishing, shrimping and tourist industries, Texas Jones Act Attorneys stay busy handing claims by injured Texas seamen on a year-round basis.
