STOP! Don’t Try to Settle a Louisiana Jones Act Injury Case On Your Own

If you have been injured on a Gulf of Mexico maritime job and feel that your employer or a co-worker was negligent, you most likely have a very good chance to sue. But too many people like you do not understand the importance of seeking professional help and end up getting much less than what they deserve.

A good maritime lawyer will be able to guide you through the complications of the legal system and represent you in court. The qualifications you should consider are:

  • A good track record. The firm should win maritime cases and be able to show you the results.
  • Lawyers who specialize in maritime law. Some firms advertise themselves as maritime attorneys when they spend most of their time on non-maritime cases.
  • A support staff with much experience in maritime law. The staff should know how to deal with the stall tactics of company lawyers and know how to move a maritime case.
  • The firm is willing and able to go to court. Many firms work to settle cases, even when it is not in the best interest of their clients. 
  • The firm is able to supply unsolicited testimonials. Some firms pay people to write about them. Good ones just get the good reviews without asking.
  • The firm has received awards and high ratings. If a firm has been successful, they should be able to show you evidence.
  • Caring is most important. Above all, a good law firm demonstrates caring and compassion, treating each of its clients with respect.

If you find yourself wondering where you can find all these qualities and more, you are in the right place. The Young Firm gets and deserves the confidence and respect of their clients.
