We also let consumers know about legal news, including verdicts and settlements and other interesting legal information.

Frequently Asked Questions

 


Q: What is the statute of limitations under the Jones Act for injuries at sea?

A:

Under the Jones Act, if you are injured while working at sea, you have three (3) years from teh date of the accident to bring your lawsuit.  This does not mean that you should wait until a week before the statute runs out before contacting an attorney.  You should talk to a lwayer as soon are you are able to do so.  That way, you and your attorney can work out a plan for the best date to file the suit.

Sometimes there is a good reason to file a lawsuit close to the end of the statute.  For instance, you may have latent injuries that have not fully manifested themselves soon after the accident.

On the other hand, there may be good reasons to file the suit sooner than later.  If you are in need of money and have finite injuries that are not getting any worse, you may want to get your lawsuit into court soon after the accident
