Don’t Hide Anything from Your New York Maritime Lawyer

It is human instinct to hide what we believe to be faults or unfavorable facts. We want, after all, to put our best foot forward and to succeed. Hiding things that we believe do not work in our favor may work in some situations; however, it will not work in a maritime lawsuit. Instead, it is important to tell your New York maritime lawyer everything that you know about your accident, about factors that may have contributed to your accident, and about your recovery.

Here's why:

• Your Employer Already Knows the Potential Weaknesses of Your Case and is Prepared to Use Them. The best way to prepare for their arguments is to anticipate them. Your lawyer may be able to minimize the impact of any weaknesses if he has the information that he needs to anticipate any problems.
• What You Think are Weaknesses May Not Hurt You. Maritime law is complex. You may be worrying about something that will have no impact on your recovery. An experienced New York Jones Act lawyer can help you understand the impact of certain factors on your potential recovery.

For these reasons, we encourage you to call 1-800-3-MAY-DAY and to tell your New York maritime attorney everything that you know about your case so that we can best serve you.
