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.
