Where Should You Hire An Attorney?
California Allows Seaman To FIle Jones Act Cases In California - Even If You Were Injured or Were Working In another State!
Many of the big shipping companies and fishing companies regularly recruit workers from California to work on their vessels. When they get seriously hurt, they get shipped home.
When the injury is serious, what should you do?
We recommend they call us. Many times we can bring claims for these seaman in California State Court. Flying back and forth from distant ports can really add up the costs of a lawsuit. When you bring your case in California State Court, you in effect, level the playing field between you and the insurance company.
The last thing the insurance company wants you to do is file your claim in California State Court. By doing so, you are taking away the shipping companies or fish processing companies big advantage - - making you file a claim in their state.
Thus, if you are from California and you were injured in another State or working for a shipping company or fish procession company from another state - - you should call us. If you call an out of state attorney they are most likely going to file your claim in their state.
If you call us, we are going to try to keep your case here in California. In your home court - not the insurance companies home court. Call us first.
Forum Selection Clauses At times, lawsuits and claims must be filed where the incident occurred or, for example, pursuant to a forum selection clause, in cities far removed from where the claimant resides. Thus, we accept cases with clients that live all over America and the world. The Turley Law Firm has a world-wide practice.
Somtimes seaman may get injured in another State and there is a forum selction clause which states the lawsuit must be filed in California. In these instances, we may represent Seaman and crewmembers that come from states and/or ports very distant from California.
