Your Company’s Insurance Coverage in a New Orleans Jones Act Claim

When you have been injured while working on a vessel or barge, your company should have insurance coverage that will provide you with the compensation you need for treatment, but sometimes you may have to fight for that compensation. When you need help filing a Jones Act claim, get in touch with a Jones Act attorney in New Orleans from the Young Law Firm.

When Your Company's Insurance Coverage May Not Cover Your Injuries

The aspects of your claim surrounding your injuries most likely will be carefully scrutinized by your company and insurance coverage may not be fully rewarded under the following circumstances: 

  • you were not assigned to a vessel;
  • your accident did not directly cause your injuries;
  • you have not spent at least 30% of your employment working on a navigating vessel;
  • you delayed filing a suit; and/or
  • you have no evidence. 

In any of the above scenarios, it is imperative you seek the help of a Jones Act attorney from the New Orleans Young Law Firm. Considering the attorneys there specialize in this line of work and have helped represent cases around the country, they, too, can help you prove you're a seaman under the Jones Act so you can pursue a fair and full settlement from your company's insurance firm.
