Jones Act - The Differences From Workers Compensation

The Jones Act is often thought of as workers' compensation. It is very different. The Jones Act is fault based and that is why you need a Jones Act Attorney. Once your injury occurs, the company immediately builds a case against you. Your lawyer should take statements and photos and build a cse for you. At Gordon & Elias, we represent injured seamen nationwide. There are many lawyers that say they are Jones Act lawyers but really do not understand the first thing about maritime law. We know exactly what to do to maximize your economic recovery. We make sure you receive medical care from only Board Certified Physicians, immediately take statements and photographs and, where ethically permitted to do so, advance money to you INTEREST FREE so you can pay your bills while off of work. We work on a straight contingency fee and if there is no recovery there is no obligation to pay a fee or any of the expenses or advances made for you or to you.
