Not all Jones Act Lawyers are created equal. All lawyers do not have the same Jones Act experience and out of those that have Jones Act experience some Jones Act Lawyers are too closely connected to insurance companies or employers.
Be cautious when a lawyer says that they have connections to law firms, judges, employers or insurance companies. The only connection you need is to the Ogletree Abbott Law Firm, where our Jones Act Lawyers only represents injured workers, never an employer or insurance company. We never have and never will represent the employer or an insurance company and we don't intend to be friends with attorneys who do. Be cautious of hiring a lawyer that has previously represented the other side and now claims to help injured workers.
If you make a mistake in hiring the wrong law firm you will discover that a good lawyer and law firm must know more than just the law. Good communication is vitally important to obtaining a good result. Look for a lawyer that listens to you, gives you respect, spends time with you, is able to sympathize with you, returns your calls quickly and offers to help you and your family just like a family member or friend would try to help you if they could. Is the lawyer concerned about your finances and how you are going to be able to pay your bills? Does the law firm have the resources to help you financially? The Ogletree Abbott Law Firm has always cared about our Jones Act clients and we know that your income will decrease when you go on to maintenance. We have the financial strength to help you with your bills and help you to get from where you are to the point where you can negotiate your settlement from strength, not weakness.
“If I hire a lawyer won’t I end up with less money than not having a lawyer?” The answer is a definite “NO!” Do you really think that your company, their lawyers and their insurance company is going to voluntarily step forward and offer you a fair settlement out of the goodness of their heart? Do you think that your company’s lawyers and claims adjusters are kind and generous? Why do you think everyone is asking you if you’ve hired a lawyer yet?
