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.
