Be careful of these common tricks used to fight Jones Act claims

We spend a lot of time in courtrooms fighting against Jones Act employers. I can tell you several of the tricks that they use in almost all their cases. They're going to hire investigators to try and videotape you. They're going to try and catch you in a misstatement even if it's about something inconsequential or unimportant about your case. A lot of times they're going to cut off your maintenance or your living expenses. They're trying to starve you out. Usually if they're taking these tactics against you, if they're trying to do this against you it means you may have a very good Jones Act case. Call us if you're being pressured in any way or if you're suspicious of your employer.
