Maritime injury claims under the Jones Act and general maritime law allow seamen to recover 3 categories of damages: economic losses, non-economic losses, and maintenance and cure. Unlike most personal injury cases, Jones Act plaintiffs don't need to prove the employer was primarily at fault - any negligence, no matter how slight, triggers full liability.
Economic damages cover past and future medical expenses, past lost wages, and future lost earning capacity. Offshore workers often earn significantly more than average, which means lost wage calculations in maritime cases are substantial. A driller earning $650/day who misses 2 years of work has already lost over $470,000 in wages alone.
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium are all recoverable. Maritime courts typically apply a multiplier of 2x to 5x economic damages for non-economic losses depending on severity and jurisdiction.
Maintenance is a daily living allowance your employer owes from the date of injury until maximum medical improvement. Courts regularly award $55 to $100 per day based on actual living expenses. Use the maintenance and cure estimator for a detailed calculation. Check eligibility first with the Jones Act claim evaluator.
