Maritime work – work involving close proximity to any large body of water – is inherently risky.

If you have been injured in a maritime accident as a seaman, you are entitled to certain benefits different from Florida's workers compensation law. The Jones Act awards compensation to seamen who have been injured at sea or aboard seagoing vessels. Additionally, if third parties are also responsible for your injuries, you may seek compensation from them or their insurance company.

If you’ve been injured in Florida in a maritime accident, call a Florida lawyer with Avera & Smith. We understand local maritime issues and will fight to get you the largest settlement possible.
