Dredging is dangerous work. Not only are you on a floating vessel where everything is in constant motion, but you are also working with heavy machinery that is lifting enormous loads deep under the water’s surface. It is not uncommon for things to go wrong, and, unfortunately, this leaves many maritime workers in need of an experienced Texas dredge accident lawyer.
The Jones Act is a federal law that governs the liability of vessel operators and marine employers for work-related injuries or the death of an employee.
