Hire us as your Jones Act accident lawyer to help you build a strong case and WIN.
As a seaman who has been injured while on the job, you are eligible for compensation and deserve to receive payment to help you recover from your injuries and pay bills if you are unable to work.
We know that a lack of resources has left a lot of people without access to the civil justice system. That is why we work on a contingency basis, meaning we cover all the upfront costs associated with your claim (court costs, expert costs, filing fees, etc.) so you don’t have to pay out of pocket.
We don’t take a penny until you’ve won your case.
We cover all upfront fees, including medical bills, research, and other ongoing expenses to build your case while you wait to receive the compensation you deserve.
Our law firm works hard to get you the maximum settlement as quickly as possible. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless we win or settle your case.

To recover under the Jones Act, you must be considered a seaman under the Supreme Court’s definition. The Supreme Court uses the following criteria to determine whether or not someone is a seaman:
Keep in mind that “vessel” also has been defined by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court defines a vessel as a watercraft that can be used as a means of transportation on the water. Examples include cruise ships, barges, containerships, and tugboats.
If you work on one of these and meet the other criteria above, you’re considered a seaman and are protected under the Jones Act.
During your evaluation, you will sit down (either virtually or face-to-face) with a member of our team to talk about your case. An attorney will ask questions to get a better understanding of what you’re experiencing, then provide you with their assessment, as well as their opinion on how you should proceed and what you can expect moving forward. Call us at (409) 212-8888 to schedule your free case evaluation.
Even if you aren’t considered a seaman under the Jones Act, that doesn’t mean you aren’t still eligible for compensation for your injuries. During your free evaluation, our attorneys will let you know if they think you have a case worth pursuing.
