The Jones Act, also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, is a significant piece of legislation in the United States governing maritime commerce and shipping. Beyond its economic and security implications, the Jones Act mandates safe working conditions for maritime workers and provides avenues for compensation if injuries occur due to negligence aboard vessels.
However, navigating a Jones Act claim can be fraught with challenges. Employers may prolong litigation, leaving injured seamen or mariners without income and in need of funds for recovery or living expenses. Jones Act maritime lawsuit pre-settlement funding or maritime settlement funding steps in to provide crucial financial support during this waiting period.
This funding option helps bridge the gap, offering immediate financial assistance until a settlement is reached, ensuring injured workers can focus on recovery without financial strain. Since pre-settlement funding is contingent on the outcome of your case, you do not bear the financial risk associated with traditional loans—we take on the risk. So, if you don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.
Under the Jones Act, a wide range of incidents can qualify for compensation, including:
These examples highlight the diverse range of incidents that can fall under the purview of the Jones Act. Injured seamen or mariners can recover broader damages under the Jones Act than under most state workers’ compensation laws, including special damages for medical care, lost income, out-of-pocket expenses, and lost room and board. General damages for pain and suffering, mental anguish, and future medical expenses and lost earnings can also be recovered.
When applying for pre-settlement funding for a Jones Act claim, your credit score is not a factor in the approval process. Instead, the funding decision is based entirely on the strength and merits of your legal case. This means your credit history, whether good or bad, does not impact your eligibility for funding. By focusing exclusively on your case details, the application process is expedited, enabling you to obtain financial support promptly without undergoing a credit check.
The funds from pre-settlement funding are immediately available and versatile, allowing you to swiftly cover a wide range of expenses related to your injury and legal case. This includes crucial needs such as medical treatments, rehabilitation expenses, therapy sessions, medications, and other essential costs. Additionally, you can use these funds to maintain your everyday living standards, covering expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation without delay. Lawsuits can take months or even years to resolve, and having a stable financial foundation is essential to overcoming this difficult time. Our application process is free, with no hidden fees or charges. If you have any questions, our team is here to help.
