Seamen and maritime workers qualify for protection under several different acts. The Jones Act protects seamen in particular, but what defines a seaman? While the Jones Act isn't specific, generally speaking, any member of the crew of a vessel who spends 30% of their work time or more on a vessel or fleet of vessels is considered a seaman.
The maritime industry covers a wide range of operations, from building ships to operating offshore drilling rigs.

If you are reading this you are most likely searching for legal representation, or advice, in some capacity. Do yourself a BIG favor and call The Lambert Firm. Not only are they incredibly consummate professionals, they are all around good people who have the upmost care, interest, and respect for their clients. Not once did I feel like just a number, or a “bottom of the stack client.” One big thing to note is that I never felt out of control of the case. Every decision was ultimately mine to make, and so I did, powered by the most expert legal advice available.
Sending out a HUGE thank you

This law firm represented me in a class action lawsuit. It was a very long process due to the nature of the case and the judicial process. Lambert Law Firm was in constant contact with me on a regular basis. I received updates by mail , as well as by phone., every step of the process. They are caring and compassionate , as well as very professional. I was very pleased with the settlement. Their clients’ best interest is clearly their priority.

The Lambert Firm represented many of us involved in a major international law suit that took over 10 years to settle. Their persistence and tenacity were appreciated along with their kindness, respect and consistent communication. Very professional and helpful. Answered questions and explained things. Always felt they were working for me. Much of my communication was with Courtney. She's the best! I highly recommend the entire firm.

I was recently represented by the Lambert firm after an accident that I had while working offshore. The thing I liked about this firm the most was their honesty. I talked directly to Mr. Lambert the first time I called. He said to me "I hope you never have to use us. but if you do, we'll be here for you". I really liked the fact that there was no pressure from the beginning. I made the decision just two days later to go forward with their representation. They were like family through out this whole process. I worked directly with Rosalind, Jacki, and Cayce. These 3 really helped me through the

I don’t know how to put into words what Mr. Hugh, Casey, and Jackie has done for me and my family. It’s taken me a while to know how to express it. When I contacted them I wondered if I was making the right decision or not. When I met with them I told them I didn’t know what to do. My case was different. Mr. Hugh assured me I was in good hands, and he would work hard for me and my family. He was not after making a fast buck, but was truly in the business to help people. My case was a challenging case, but Mr. Hugh and his team were up for the challenge. With nothing to hide, Mr. Hugh believed
