Ease Your Stress
Working as a merchant marine on cargo or cruise ships, can be a hazardous profession. You know first hand because it’s likely you or someone you know has suffered an injury as a result of their job, and now you’re working with a personal injury attorney to try to get the fair legal settlement you’re owed. Your right to sue was established by the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 – often referred to as the Jones Act.
The Jones Act is really an extension of the FELA, rights provided to employees of the railway system, with the pertinent provision stating, “Any sailor who shall suffer personal injury in the course of her/his employment may, at their election, maintain an action for damages at law, with the right to trial by jury, and in such action all statutes of the United States modifying or extending the common-law right or remedy in cases of personal injury to railway employees shall apply…”
It is important to note that the Jones Act is not the same thing as the Death on the High Seas Act, which applies to international waters. Nor does it apply to the Longshore Act, which applies to harbor and longshore workers.
In any case, getting cash before your lawsuit settles is actually a relatively common practice. Legal funding is one option that is extremely “user-friendly.” Your credit history is not important, and you don’t have to make monthly payments – you pay Signal back only when you win your case.
