Been to sea before?

My brother was a sailor when he was young. Joined the company right after he finished Form 5. Those days, getting a job on board a ship is kinda like a luxury. You need to have "connection" in order to secure the position. Things are different right now. If you have the right qualifications, you can apply for a job at sea. Hubby's cousin is a sailor too and his dad is always worried that he might hurt himself on board the ship. He asked us if we've heard of this jones act lawsuit or not? Me, no. But what's there to worry about? In every profession, there is bound to be risk. Should anything happen, i believe a personal injur lawyer will be able to help him out.
