IBU Injuries and Claims


It's an Insurance Claim

"At the end of the day, this is an insurance claim. The vessel has insurance for this. In our experience, the insurance companies are usually professionals. It is boat owners that get upset. No one needs to take you getting injured personally. But sometimes they do, When this happens to you - call us - we can help you get the Jones Act benefits you deserve." IBU Attorney - Bill Turley

Inland Boatmen's Union and Jones Act Injuries

California Inland Boatmen Union (IBU) members are protected by federal maritime law, including the Jones Act. Under the Jones Act, Inland Boatmen workers are allowed sue their employers and/or the vessels which they are injured.

Under maritime law, crew members of vessels are allowed to sue their employers and vessels if they are injured. These are powerful rights and remedies that only seaman have the right to bring. Seaman can sue their employer / vessel in civil court and obtain much fairer compensation for their injuries. Jones Act benefits include compensation for lost past and future earnings, loss of earning capacity, past and future pain and suffering, retraining costs, disfigurement, loss of household services, past and future loss of enjoyment of life, disability, and medical and nursing expenses.
