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.
