Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
- Q. If i get hurt on a cruise ship as a passenger should i have to pay the jones act fee???. I fell and i have doctor report
- A: The Jones Act only covers injuries to the crew of the vessel. Passenger injury claims fall under general maritime law. I am not quite sure what fee you would have been required to pay but it most likely had nothing to do with the Jones Act. Consult with a maritime attorney to discuss any remedies you may be entitled to.
