Black list of employees who file claims? Not true.

Black Ball List

Valuable Cases

We are often asked is there truly a blackball list. This goes back decades. My father was a maritime lawyer in New Orleans. He was hearing about it 40 years ago. To our knowledge there is no list of blackballed employees. We have represented several individuals who have successfully handled their cases, they've settled their Jones Act cases, they've received the treatment that they need, they have gone back to work in the offshore oil and gas industry. There is no blackball list. You can return to work after your Jones Act case.

Contact the Louisiana Maritime Lawyers at The Young Firm if you have any questions at all regarding your rights! We have been helping injured Louisiana Jones Act and maritime workers for years. Your case is about more than your injury; your case is about your future.
