The Jones Act protects certain maritime workers when they sustain on-the-job injuries due to the negligence of the ship owner or fellow crew members. Sometimes referred to as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, the Jones Act also allows seafaring workers to file claims of unseaworthiness when the conditions of the vessel contribute to accidents and injuries.
