Wyoming Jones Act Claims

Though the state of Wyoming is landlocked, it has a great number of tributaries channeling through its area. From the Laramie River to the Snake River, these waterways serve as the workplace for many Wyoming residents. Commercial bass fisherman on the Belle Fourche River and researchers on Yellowstone Lake all sometimes put their lives at risk for their jobs. However, they are not always covered by inland worker's compensation laws. Instead, federal law provides the Jones Act. This body of laws gives injured maritime workers in Wyoming the opportunity to seek compensation when the disablement was due to employer fault or neglect.
