Jones Act Seamen

Jones Act Lawyers in Opelousas

Dedicated to Justice for Jones Act Injury Claims

Jones Act laws, also known as Merchant Marine Act laws, were created to protect people working on ships, oil rigs and other vessels out at sea. However, claims filed under the Jones Act and other maritime-related injuries are of a different nature than typical workers’ compensation laws. 

People in Opelousas who get injured offshore or in a maritime-related accident are advised to consult with a trusted Jones Act lawyer from Morrow, Morrow, Ryan, Bassett & Haik — even when their company is aiding in recovery.

Demand Unbiased Analysis

While employers often helpfully direct injured employees to a company-endorsed doctor, allowing for time to recover, victims should consider an evaluation by an unbiased, independent doctor. Those injured can’t always depend on workman’s compensation or rely on their company for long-term health outcomes.

Just as the manager and insurance company will be looking out for the best interest of the company, you will need a law firm who will care enough about your personal well-being.

Offshore Injury Claims, Less Complicated

Cases involving the Jones Act or other maritime laws can become quite complicated, with many cases taking years to resolve if not handled properly. Never settle for a team without a positive track record in litigating Jones Act claims. Your consultation with us will be free and confidential. We do not solicit you at work and will not jeopardize your employment.
