What Jones Act coverage includes

Seamen injured aboard a vessel can sue their employer for negligence under the Jones Act, and also claim maintenance and cure.

  • Jones Act liability - Negligence suits by injured crew members.
  • Maintenance and cure - Living costs and medical care for injured seamen.
  • Unseaworthiness - Claims that the vessel or gear was not fit for use.
  • Transportation and wages - Repatriation and unearned wages owed to crew.
  • Crew P&I - Usually written within a protection and indemnity policy.

Good to know: a documented crew training program and current Coast Guard inspections go a long way with marine underwriters.

Not covered: passengers and non-crew workers, who need separate P&I or USL&H coverage, and injuries from intoxication on many forms.
