Experienced Jones Act Lawyers
The Jones Act was first passed in 1920, and it allowed seamen who were injured while at sea to obtain compensation for the injuries they received as a result of negligence on the part of the ship's captain, the ship owner or other crew members. At Raub Law Firm, P.C., our Corpus Christi maritime law attorneys can help clients who have been injured virtually anywhere in the world. Our knowledge of the law and extensive experience allows us to handle claims not only in Texas, but in any place with navigable waterways.

Protecting Offshore Workers
When you work on the water, you generally understand some of the dangers involved. While not every accident can be prevented, employers have a duty to provide a safe environment for their employees. The Jones Act covers injuries to offshore workers who work on the following:
- Jackup rig
- Semi-submersible ship or rig
- Barge
- Drill ship
- Tug or towboat
- Floating crane
- Tanker
- Cargo ship
- Fishing vessel
- Cruise ship
- Other floating structures
Any navigable water can be the site of a Jones Act claim for the crew of the boat.
