Practice Areas
Jones Act, Maritime, and Longshore Attorneys
If you have suffered an injury, or an aggravation of a pre-existing injury while in the service of a vessel, on an offshore rig or platform or in port, your best chance of making a full and fair recovery is to put your case in the hands of an experienced Maritime lawyer. We have extensive experience successfully representing persons with Jones Act and other Maritime claims. While many attorneys advertise themselves as maritime lawyers, most are not and will end up referring your case to a lawyer who focuses on maritime law. We have handled hundreds of Jones Act, Maritime and Longshore cases.
Contact maritime lawyers White Flood, PLLC to discuss your case. With the exception of Longshore and Defense Base Act, all of the work we do is on contingency. This means we advance all costs of preparing your case and only charge a fee (a percentage of the recovery) when the case is successfully concluded. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
Nationwide Defense Base Act Attorneys
If you have suffered an injury, or an aggravation of a pre-existing injury while working as a civilian contractor in Iraq or Afghanistan, you have a right to compensation and benefits under the Defense Base Act.
The process followed under the Defense Base Act is very similar to the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, but very different from a Longshore claim due to the unique situation involved. Based upon this, your best chance of achieving maximum compensation and medical benefits under the Defense Base Act is contacting attorneys with extensive experience handling these matters. Not only have we handled Longshore claims before the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, but we were among the attorneys that the large corporations and insurance companies turned to defend them against claims. We now proudly represent the injured worker. Based upon our experience, which includes handling hundreds of Defense Base Act cases, we understand how to achieve favorable results on behalf of our clients.
If you have been injured while working as a civilian contractor in Iraq or Afghanistan, call us today. Even if you are currently receiving compensation and medical benefits, it may be possible to increase your benefits or obtain additional medical treatment. Your consultation is free. Fees for our services do not come out of your recovery. Our fees are paid by the insurance carrier if we prevail, and do not in any way decrease the compensation or other benefits that you may be awarded under the Defense Base Act.
