Workers' Compensation and Your On-the-Job Maritime Injury
Most people believe that if they are hurt on the job, they are limited to the benefits they can receive under workers' compensation. However, for maritime workers and other seamen, that is not the case. While most workers are limited to workman's comp, maritime workers have additional rights under the Jones Act. An experienced lawyer can help you explore the full range of options for compensation.
I am admiralty law attorney Harold Eisenman, and with a national practice based out of Houston, I represent injured maritime workers throughout the Gulf Coast and across the country who have suffered an on-the-job injury. If you have suffered a serious injury at sea or on an inland waterway, I can make sure you pursue all your options for a full recovery.

There are firms throughout the Gulf Coast who handle workers' compensation claims, but are unable to pursue your case for further damages. That is where I step in. While I do not handle workers' compensation matters, I do pursue claims for injured maritime workers for additional compensation. Depending on the nature of your accident, you may be entitled to additional compensation under the Jones Act.
Your recovery is limited under workers' compensation. However, under the Jones Act, injured seamen are entitled to substantially more for their injuries. Taking a close look at your case, I will help you determine if you are eligible for additional compensation based on the any of the following:
- Lost Wages
- Lost Earning Capacity
- Pain and Suffering
- Mental Anguish
- Loss of Physical Capacity
- Disfigurement
- Past and Future Medical Expenses
- Loss of Household Services
