Helping Injured Seamen Get The Maintenance And Cure Benefits They Deserve

As an injured seaman, you are entitled to maintenance and cure benefits. “Maintenance benefits” provide for the basic living expenses of the seaman during recovery. “Cure benefits” provide compensation for needed medical care. These benefits will continue until the seaman reaches the point of maximum medical improvement. You do not have to prove negligence to obtain maintenance and cure benefits – only that you are covered by the Jones Act and were injured during the course of your work on a qualifying vessel.

However, many types of insurance fail to provide the maintenance and cure benefits that injured seamen deserve. They often try to terminate cure benefits prematurely and provide very low maintenance benefits. To get all of the maintenance and cure benefits you deserve, you may need the help of an experienced Jones Act attorney.

Getting The Medical Care You Need To Recover

Maintenance Benefits

Insurance companies often offer absurdly low maintenance benefits, so low that the benefits do not cover the most basic living expenses. In some cases, it is possible to significantly increase the level of cure benefits provided to a seaman. The maintenance and cure maritime lawyers at Spagnoletti Law Firm will seek the compensation available for you.
