We comply with The Jones Act, and appended is the information for your reference:
The Jones Act is a federal statute enacted in 1920 which established a negligence remedy against a seaman’s employer for the injury or death of a seaman. The Jones Act specifically incorporates the rights and remedies extended to railroad workers by the Federal Employees Liability Act (“FELA”). Thus the Jones Act and the FELA are two of the very few circumstances in which an employee can sue his employer for the negligence of the employer or the employee’s co-workers, and not be limited to inadequate workers’ compensation laws.
