Work at sea can be truly dangerous. This is the reason why seamen have special rights if they get hurt on the job. One of the most important laws that protects them is the Jones Act. If unsafe conditions or negligence caused their injury, this law enables injured seamen to seek compensation.

But according to Jones Act lawyer John Stevenson Jr., while many employees injured aboard a vessel may have a claim under the Jones Act, others may need experienced legal help to find other sources of compensation and benefits.

Eating Classic Burgers at Buns Bros

Eating Classic Burgers at Buns Bros

Posted on by Jupiter

When walking around Southend, we are always looking for a food place that catches our eyes. The outside of Buns Bros, before it opens, is actually a PokeStop in Pokemon Go, as the artwork is so fantastic. This, eventually, led us to eating there one afternoon when we wanted a lunch. Buns Bros is a sort of hole-in-the-wall place, like many of the small units along this side of Southend, that has a few tables outside and a few inside, along with a small window to order food at.
