Maritime Attorney Explains Jones Act Law
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com/practice_areas/jones-act-attorney-houston-texas-jones-act-lawyer.cfm (877) 724 7800 What is the Jones Act? Watch this video for a simple, straightforward answer to this question which is often asked by maritime workers following an offshore injury.

How Much Can You Get for Lost Wages in a Jones Act Lawsuit?
www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com If you work offshore and have suffered a maritime accident or injury, you may be hoping to collect lost wages from your company under a Jones Act lawsuit. However, one of the most common and confusing questions clients have concerning this scenario is how much money they are actually entitled to collect.
Before your offshore injury, there was a certain amount of wages you were likely expected to make for a certain amount of years, until the end of your career. After your injury, as your body is not in the shape it was prior, you may not be able to make as much money or work for as many years. Under a Jones Act lawsuit, your lawyers will find the difference between the amount of money you would have made before your injury, and the amount you are expected to make after your injury. This number is the amount you can collect for lost wages.

If you have suffered an offshore injury and wish to collect lost wages under a Jones Act lawsuit, are looking for an attorney to represent you, or just need advice and information, the law offices of Vujasinovic & Beckcom, P.L.L.C. can help.

Seaman Injury Lawyer Explains What 'Seaman' Means
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 Does it matter whether you are considered to be a "Seaman" at the time of an offshore injury? You bet it does. It makes a HUGE difference in the legal benefits you will be entitled to recover. If you are a Seaman, you will be entitled to benefits under the Jones Act. If not, you will be entitled to benefits under General Maritime Law. Jones Act benefits are much more valuable, so you want to find out what your "Seaman Status" is as soon as possible following a maritime injury.

Significant Maritime Injuries Justify Legal Action
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 If you were hurt working offshore, you may be wondering whether your claim justifies an actual maritime lawsuit? Basically, if your injury is going to have some impact on your future, or the future of your family, you should at least consider the possibility of legal action. Talk to some qualified maritime injury attorneys to get more information to help you with this decision. You can also research our websites, watch our videos, or read our free consumer reports

Maritime Claims Adjusting Companies Are NOT on Your Side
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com If you work offshore and have suffered a maritime accident or injury, it is likely that you have been contacted by a maritime claims adjusting company. They may seem friendly and helpful at the outset, but it is important for you to know the true agenda of these companies in order to protect yourself and your injury claim.
Maritime claims adjusting companies do not work for you; they work for the company. They are hired and paid big bucks to do everything they can to diminish your offshore injury claim, and there are numerous ways in which they achieve this. They will talk you into giving a recorded statement, which can later be used against you. They will collect recorded statements from friends and co-workers who will unwittingly say something that can hurt your claim. Sometimes they will even secretly videotape you, all in pursuit of making you look bad and destroying your claim.

It is imperative that you recognize whose best interest these maritime adjusting companies have in mind. Do not allow them to coerce you into trusting them with your offshore injury claim. If you have suffered a maritime injury and are seeking information and help, call (877) 724-7800 or visit www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com where you can order a FREE copy of our report, Protecting Your Future, today.

Co-Worker Recorded Statements Will Hurt Your Injury Claim
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com If you work offshore and have suffered a maritime accident or injury, it is important that you never agree to give a recorded statement, no matter how much pressure you feel. Any recorded statement can and will be used against you, and it is critical that you protect yourself. However, another way in which insurance companies can hurt your injury claim is by collecting co-worker recorded statements.
Just as they will approach you in a friendly and professional manner, maritime claims adjusting companies will approach your co-workers for recorded statements. Of course your co-workers will likely answer their questions, not wanting to get in trouble with the company and thinking they are doing no harm to your injury claim. However, claims adjusting company agents are skilled statement takers, and they may twist co-workers' words to hurt your claim.

If you have suffered a maritime injury and are seeking help and advice on how to protect your claim, or are being pressured by nonstop calls, the law offices of Vujasinovic & Beckcom, P.L.L.C. can help. Call (877) 724-7800, or visit www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com where you can order a FREE copy of our book, Protecting Your Future, today.

Injury End Your Offshore Career? You Have a Legal Claim for Lost Wages
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com Having an offshore career can be an extremely dangerous line of work. You may have to operate or work around a lot of heavy duty equipment, and, unfortunately, you are at risk for serious injury. If you work offshore and have suffered a career-ending injury, you are probably worried about what to do next. One option you do have is to file a legal claim for lost wages.
If you have been injured and have a legal claim either against your employer under the Jones Act, or against another company under the General Maritime Law, you may have the right to assert a claim for lost wages. Not only will this claim cover the wages which you lost in the past due to your injury, but the wages which you will not get in the future because your offshore career has ended.

In the case of a career-ending injury, we will hire both an economist and a vocational rehabilitation expert. First the economist will calculate how much money you would have made had you been able to stay in the offshore industry, and then the rehabilitation expert will suggest which jobs you can still work. The difference of the offshore salary and the new salary is the amount of money, which you can claim as lost wages.

Will I Get Fired for Filing a Jones Act Lawsuit?
http://www.maritimeinjuryattorney.com Unfortunately, oftentimes injured offshore workers still employed by their company may begin to feel that the company is not treating them right or giving them the compensation they deserve. Whatever the cause, an injured worker may believe their company does not have their best interests in mind, and will become interested in pursuing a Jones Act lawsuit. However, one concern they always have is the possibility of getting fired for filing a lawsuit.
At Vujasinovic & Beckcom, P.L.L.C., we do let our clients know that it is not guaranteed that a company will not move to fire an employee after they file a Jones Act lawsuit. However, the majority of the workers we represent don't face that situation.

Company Tricks Exposed:

Maintenance Payments Too Low? Here Is Our Solution
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 Is the company short changing you on your maintenance payments following an offshore accident? This happens a lot. But there is some good news.

We file this maintenance upgrade paper, and ask the judges to order the companies to pay higher maintenance amounts, to properly reflect today's cost of living and each person's individual costs of daily living. For more information, please watch this video. If you would like a copy of our maintenance upgrade paper, please contact us and we will provide it to you for free.

Secret Videotaping? Yes, the companies do it following an offshore injury.

How Company Doctors May Hurt Your Maritime Injury Lawsuit
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 After an offshore injury lawsuit is filed, the company is generally entitled to have a doctor of its choice see you one time. The companies routinely pick doctors and provide the doctors with information in a manner designed to defeat your offshore injury claim. Watch this video for examples of how the companies use company doctors to defeat your maritime injury lawsuit.

"Wage Replacement"? Do NOT Sign That Document After Maritime Injury!
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 This is not one of the more common company tricks following an offshore injury, but we do see it from time to time. If you have been hurt offshore, you need to look out for this. The company will tell you it is prepared to pay your maintenance payments, but first it needs you to sign a "wage replacement" document. Do not sign it. You are entitled to maintenance payments without signing anything, under the Jones Act law. The company wants you to sign this wage replacement document because it sneaks several provisions in it that hurt your case. Essentially, you are being tricked in to signing away valuable legal rights that you do not even know you have. At a minimum, talk to a qualified maritime injury lawyer before signing any such document.

Jones Act Lawyer Exposes Common Company Tricks
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 Houston, Texas based Offshore Injury Lawyer exposes common tricks used by companies following a maritime injury. Learn about the most common tricks used by the companies so you can protect yourself.

Lost Wages After Maritime Injury? You Have Options
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 If your offshore injury takes you out of work, you may be worried about whether your company will pay you enough while you are off so you can keep paying your bills and support yourself and your family. Most of the time, if the Jones Act applies to your accident, an offshore employer will only pay you the bare minimum "maintenance" payment - which may be $20 or $25 per day. The companies do not have to pay you this minimum amount - if they wanted, they could pay you much more - but all too often the companies go with the bottom amount. If you are facing this scenario, you have options, and many times a Jones Act lawyer can help you with this situation. First, our law firm will help you apply for disability benefits through the company, if those benefits are available. We do not charge anything on these benefits if they are paid to you. Second, in appropriate situations, we can assist our clients financially to the extent of necessary living expenses. Watch this video for more.

Sign This Release, Then See A Doctor: Company Trick
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 Following an offshore injury in which the Jones Act applies, your employer is not allowed to require you to sign a Release of your claim in order for you to see doctors for your injuries. In fact, your company is not allowed to require you to sign ANYTHING in order for you to get the medical treatment you need. The company MUST pay the medical bills from any doctors you see, even if they are not company doctors. There can be NO PRECONDITIONS for you getting to see your doctors. If the company is trying to get you to sign things before they will approve your doctor treatment, you should consider consulting with a qualified Jones Act lawyer. For more information, watch this video.

Can Your Company Force You To Get Medical Under Insurance? No!
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 You were hurt offshore, and now your company is telling you to get medical care under your health insurance. Inevitably, this is making it very difficult for you to get timely and proper medical care. You want to get proper medical treatment, not jump through hoops and face insurance company delays. And guess what? Your company is not even allowed to force you through insurance. Under the Jones Act, your employer must pay DIRECTLY for your medical care, and you have the right to efficient doctor treatment without worrying about insurance problems.

Recorded Statement After Your Offshore Injury DAMAGES YOUR CLAIM
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com (877) 724-7800 Texas maritime accident attorney Brian Beckcom does not want you to give a recorded or written statement to an insurance company, adjustor or third party consulting firm such as Shuman Consulting following your maritime accident injury. Watch this video to learn how your own words could be turned against you. When you get injured in an offshore accident at work, your employer will contact their insurance company. Often, the insurance adjustor will contact you within hours of your injury and will try to get you to provide them with a written or recorded statement. If you are asked to give a recorded statement, do not provide them with one, as these statements can be used against you. In addition, you are under no obligation to comply with their demands. At Vujasinovic & Beckcom, we know you’ve already suffered an injury and that you need someone on your side that has your best interest in mind.

Offshore Injury - The number one mistake you can make to hurt your case
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 Maritime accident attorney Brian Beckcom reveals the number one mistake you can make after a maritime accident to hurt your case.

Maritime Injury - Should you give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
Maritime attorney Brian Beckcom answers a common question from injured maritime workers - should you give a recorded statement to the insurance company?

DO NOT Give A Recorded Statement To Your Employer Or The Insurance Company
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com (877) 724-7800 Insurance companies use many tricks on injured people. They will ask them to give a recorded statement. Do not do this! They are trying to trap you. These companies have armies of adjusters who are trained to hurt your case, not help it. Even if they are very nice, politely decline.

Medical Treatment Problems:

What Is Maximum Medical Improvement?
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com/practice_areas/medical-treatment-rights-jones-act-lawyer-offshore-injury.cfm (877) 724 7800 If you have been hurt offshore and are seeing doctors, you probably have heard the term "Maximum Medical Improvement," or "MMI" for short. You are considered to have reached MMI if medical treatment will no longer improve your condition. In other words, medical treatment has done the most good for you as it ever will. A common trick the offshore companies offer play is they try to have one of their hand picked doctors declare you to have reached MMI before you have in fact done so. Why would they do that? Because some of their obligations to pay you maintenance and cure benefits following your maritime injury cease once you have been declared at MMI. Did you know you do not have to rely on a company doctor opinion about your MMI? Most injured offshore workers are surprised to learn that they can seek an MMI opinion from an independent doctor who is not tied to their company. For more information on the MMI game played by the companies, please contact us.

Problem Seeing Doctors After Offshore Injury? Lawyer Can Help.
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 Unfortunately, the companies often do not make it easy for you to see doctors after a maritime injury. They make you go through health insurance. They force you to see company doctors. They tell you a recorded statement is necessary before you can see any doctors. They make you go through a bund of red tape that causes delays in your treatment, and potentially makes your injury even worse. Guess what? Under maritime law, they are not supposed to do any of these things. With an experienced Jones Act lawyer on your side, the company cannot get away with its usual tricks and traps, and you will be able to receive timely and proper medical treatment from doctors you choose.

Maritime Back and Neck Injuries:

How Is an Offshore Spine Injury Proved In a Lawsuit?
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com Offshore rigs are a dangerous work environment, and unfortunately workers can suffer serious injuries to their spine and neck. If you work on an offshore rig and suffered a spine or neck injury and are wondering how your injury can be proved in a lawsuit, there are a few things to keep in mind.
The two key parts to proving an offshore spine injury are first having an examination from a qualified orthopedic doctor or neurosurgeon, and medical tests. The most important medical test to have done is an MRI, which will look at the discs between the vertebrae in your spine and determine what kind of injury is present. Depending on the seriousness of the injury, you may face nerve damage, numbness and tingling in your arms and legs, require steroid injections or even surgery. If this is the case, you are entitled to legal compensation.

Offshore Oil Rig Accident:

Offshore Rig Injury? Lawyer Teaches Your Legal Rights
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com An offshore rig is a dangerous working environment. Offshore workers must operate and work around heavy duty equipment, and, unfortunately, often they may suffer an injury. If you have suffered an offshore rig injury, you are probably wondering what kind of claim you may have.
The first step to filing a claim is to determine what kind of offshore rig you work on. There are two main types of offshore rigs: platform rigs and jack-up rigs. If you were injured on a jack-up rig, it is most likely that the Jones Act will apply to you and your injury claim. This act allows you to make a claim directly against your employer, as well as grants you maintenance and cure benefits. If you were injured on a platform rig, unfortunately you are likely not covered under the Jones Act, but you may be protected under the General Maritime Law. This means you may have a claim against some company other than your employer, and it is important that you have an experienced maritime attorney to handle your case.

If you have suffered an offshore rig injury and are looking for information and an attorney to represent your platform rig or jack-up rig injury claim, the law offices of Vujasinovic & Beckcom, P.L.L.C. can help. Call us toll free at (877) 724-7800, or visit our website at www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com, where you can order a copy of our FREE consumer report, How to Hire the Best Maritime Attorney for Your Case.

The location of the accident, the residence of the injured maritime worker, and the headquarters of the company may all be in different countries.

Then, the lawyers must argue about what the substance of the law requires, if it is a foreign law. At our law firm, we have a lot of experience handling international maritime claims.

Tips For Injured Offshore Workers:

Disability Insurance After Offshore Injury? Jones Act Lawyer Explains
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 Many offshore workers have disability insurance as part of their employment package. Following a maritime injury, we are often able to help our clients secure payments from a disability insurance policy. We often secure disability payments for our clients, even as we are suing the company and pursuing an offshore accident or Jones Act lawsuit. If you are worried the company will cut you off on current payments if you hire a lawyer or file a lawsuit, keep in mind that most of the time you should be able to get disability compensation to replace this income stream. For more information, watch this video.

Advances Deducted From Offshore Injury Settlement?
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 If you are receiving money advances from your company following an offshore injury, you might be worried that you have to refund those advances if you file and settle your maritime lawsuit. We have never settled an offshore injury case where our client had to refund any advances. If you are represented by a qualified maritime attorney, this should never happen to you. For more information, including a real life example of what happened to one of our clients, watch this video.

Husband Injured Offshore? Here Is What You Should Do
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 We often get emails or calls from the wives of offshore workers. Their husband does not want to admit the extent of his offshore injury, and unrealistically insists he will return to offshore work. If your husband was injured offshore, you may be worried about his injury, the medical bills that are piling up, and whether he will ever work offshore again. The company probably does not act like it is very concerned about your family's future. Research our website and watch our videos, and arm yourself with information that you can take to your husband. Order our free consumer reports, and read them with your husband. Before your husband throws away your family's valuable legal rights, make sure he understands the value of his offshore injury claim.

No Accident Report? You Still Have Rights
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 Houston Jones Act Lawyers explains that the lack of an accident report will not necessarily destroy your offshore injury claim. There are several understandable reasons why an injured maritime worker may not immediately report an injury. Watch this video for more information on how to handle this situation.

Facebook Can Ruin Your Case: Jones Act Lawyer Explains
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 You already know why it is a bad idea to give the company a "recorded statement" because it will be used against you. If you post on Facebook, all of your posts will be used against you. And not only that, but also all the pictures and videos you post will also be used against you. Even if you think your posts are harmless, trust us, the company attorneys are very skilled and they will find a way to make you look bad, even if it is not fair. Therefore, it is best simply to not use Facebook if you have a case pending.

Maintenance & Cure: Jones Act Lawyer Can Help You
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 You may believe your company will automatically pay you the proper maintenance and cure benefits following an offshore injury. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case. The companies usually will try to under pay you your benefits, or even not pay you any benefits at all. An experienced Jones Act lawyer knows the rules on maintenance and cure and can ensure the company does not trick you in to throwing away valuable legal rights.

Not A Jones Act Seaman? You May Still Have A Case
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 Houston Offshore Injury Lawyer explains how even someone who is not a Jones Act seaman may have a valid maritime injury case. Depending on the facts of your offshore accident, you may be entitled to bring a third party maritime injury claim even if you are not covered by the Jones Act.

Company Pushing You After Injury? You Have Medical Rights
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 Hurt offshore? Is your company pushing you back to work before your doctor has cleared you? Offshore Injury Lawyer Vuk Vujasinovic explains your rights in this situation under the Jones Act law. If a doctor has not yet declared you to have reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), then your company must continue to pay you maintenance and cure benefits. In addition, you have the right to see an independent doctor, rather than a company doctor, to determine whether you have reached MMI yet.

Jones Act Lawyer Explains How Company Experts Hurt Offshore Claims
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 When a Jones Act seaman is injured, the employer typically has all sorts of tricks up its sleeves to try to deny the claim. One way the offshore companies try to beat down the workers is through the use of "experts." They hire the same expert witnesses over and over, paying them quite handsomely. The experts say whatever is needed in order to help the company, regardless of the evidence. As an example, watch this video about how Grifco Transportation (DG Marine) hired an expert named Richard Frenzel to defend a case in which we represented a tankerman who was injured on the tug boat "Natalie Alexander." We took the deposition of Mr. Frenzel in this case. If you would like a copy of it to demonstrate the ludicrous and embarrassing positions he will take in order to please the company, please contact us.

Out Of State Jones Act Lawyer?
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724-7800 Many times, injured offshore workers want to know if they can hire a Jones Act lawyer out of state? Not only is this okay, but often it's a very good idea. In most Jones Act lawsuits, there will be several different counties or states where your lawyer can file your case. One option where very many Jones Act cases can be filed is right here in Houston, Texas, where our law offices are located. Houston is of course the capital of the energy industry, and many energy and offshore corporations have their headquarters here. So, many maritime injury lawsuits end up being handled here in Houston. If you have a Jones Act injury claim and don't live in Texas, you should consider at least talking to a Houston-based Jones Act lawyer.

Offshore Workers Covered by Maritime Law, NOT Workers Comp
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com (877) 724-7800 Maritime accident attorney Brian Beckcom wants to explain the common misconception regarding workers’ compensation insurance and maritime law for injured offshore workers. Watch this video to learn more about the difference between workers’ compensation and the Jones Act. At Vujasinovic & Beckcom, we often have injured offshore workers ask us if they are covered by workers’ compensation insurance after they have been hurt on the job. This common misunderstanding occurs frequently. Instead of being covered by workers’ comp, injured offshore workers are covered by maritime law and the Jones Act. If you can prove that your injury was due to company negligence, you should receive monetary compensation under maritime law. However, maritime law can be complicated and confusing and not many attorneys have experienced handling these types of cases. If you were injured offshore and have legal questions, contact Vujasinovic & Beckcom at 877-724-7800 and we will answer your legal questions for free. Also, visit our website at http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com and search through our many frequently asked questions, or order any of our books that will help you through your maritime accident injury.

The maritime accident attorneys at Vujasinovic & Beckcom know that after an offshore accident, you are under a lot of pressure, trying to deal with your injuries, the insurance company, and your employer who wants you to get back to work.

Should I Use Maritime Disability Insurance After My Injury?
http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com (877) 724-7800 You are probably on this website or watching this video because you have been injured in a maritime accident and need legal advice. Texas maritime accident attorney Brain Beckcom answers some of your questions regarding disability insurance following your offshore injury. Watch this video to learn more. Oftentimes maritime employers provide disability insurance as part of the employment benefits to their workers who get hurt on-the-job. However, many employees do not know if they should apply for disability insurance when they get injured offshore, and if that will affect their chances of bringing a claim against their employer later on. The answer to this is simple. You can apply for disability insurance following an offshore accident injury, and it will not affect a future legal claim against your employer. However, it is extremely important that you do not sign any papers from your employer or insurance company without talking to an experienced maritime accident attorney. We don’t want you to hurt your future legal case, which is why we provide you with free information and answers to your questions. At Vujasinovic & Beckcom, you can find hundreds of answers to your questions at our website at http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com.

How Long Will You Get Maintenance Payments? Maritime Attorney Explains
http://www.MaritimeAccidentAttorney.com (877) 724 7800 The company must pay you maintenance until you reach "Maximum Medical Improvement," or "MMI" for short. The company will commonly encourage you to see only company doctors. Of course, the company doctors put you at MMI sooner than you are, so the company can stop paying you your maintenance payments. You should go see an independent doctor, and let them examine you and look at your records, and tell you their opinion on whether you are at MMI yet. If the independent doctors says you are not yet at MMI, make sure you tell the company this, as they are required to consider this in deciding whether to continue your maintenance payments.
