A: Federal maritime law allows injured seamen to recover damages for maintenance and cure if they have been injured in an occupational accident. Since the Jones Act law is well established, it is understandable that you may wonder why you need an attorney to recover the damages that the law allows.
In our experience, some maritime employers will do what they can to try to avoid paying legitimate claims. A New York Jones Act attorney can make sure that all of your rights are protected and can zealously advocate for your full and complete recovery. If a settlement can't be reached, then the same New York City Jones Act lawyer can advocate for your recovery in court.
Our experienced New York City Jones Act attorneys will spare no reasonable expense in investigating your accident, preparing for settlement talks and trial and advocating on your behalf. We will take the burden of your financial recovery off of you and allow you to focus on your physical recovery, while we protect your legal rights and pursue damages on your behalf.
