Book excerpt: "The Captain's Guide to Maritime Injuries" is a basic guide to maritime law and Jones Act law as it pertains to injured maritime workers. The book discusses basic laws and provisions that protect maritime workers; it also gives definitions of common terms such as "seamen", "maintenance and cure", and the "Jones Act." We wrote this book to clarify what you should do after an injury on a tug, tank, oil rig, vessel, barge, etc. It also answers common questions such as -"Should I hire a maritime attorney?" -"Should I return back to work after my offshore injury?" -"What is the definition of a seaman?" Lastly, the book strives to educate injured mariners about their rights and options. We think it's important that injured workers understand everything they can about what options are available to them and how certain actions might affect their future.
