Why $1 Billion Doesn’t Really Matter in Your Case… What Lawyers Won’t Tell You

Big numbers don’t equal big results for you. Many law firms brag about “recovering over $1 billion,” but here’s the truth: that number often includes mass tort settlements, where thousands of cases get bundled together and the attorney played a limited role in each case.

Our suggestion: look at the firm’s actual results for individual Jones Act or maritime cases. Our Jones Act and maritime results are some of the best in the country. While many firms have been busy doing class action cases, we have been handling cases just like yours.

  • The experience of the attorney handling your specific case.
  • Their success in Jones Act and maritime injury claims—not just mass settlements.
  • Whether they fight to maximize your individual compensation.

For more than 30 years our law firm has been focused on helping injured maritime workers throughout all state and Federal courts.

Frequently Questions?

Can you represent me if I live in another state?

Yes! Although our office is based in New Orleans, Louisiana, we represent injured maritime workers nationwide. Maritime injury claims, including Jones Act cases, fall under federal law, meaning we can fight for you no matter where you live or where your accident happened.

What should I do after a maritime injury?

If you’ve been injured while working offshore or on a vessel:

  1. Report the accident to your employer but be cautious about signing any paperwork.
  2. Get medical attention as soon as possible.
  3. Document everything – take pictures, save medical records, and keep track of witness information.
  4. Speak to a maritime injury lawyer before giving a recorded statement to your employer or insurance company.

How much does it cost to hire a Jones Act lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. Our firm only gets paid if we win your case and secure a settlement for you. There are no hidden fees—you can focus on your recovery while we fight for your compensation.

How long will it take to receive a settlement?

The time it takes to resolve a Jones Act or maritime injury case varies depending on several factors, including:

  • The severity of your injuries and medical treatment timeline
  • The complexity of your case and whether your employer fights the claim
  • Negotiation vs. trial – some cases settle quickly, while others require litigation

Some cases settle in a few months, while more complex claims may take a year or longer. Our goal is to secure maximum compensation as quickly as possible, without compromising your financial recovery.
