  2. Working at sea is a very difficult job since sea or ocean behaviors are erratic and hazardous. Seamen, naval engineers, deck officers, engine officers, ship captains, ocean rangers and others are always risking their lives due to the ocean’s ever-changing conditions.

  3. In order to protect the safety of professionals who are working in the maritime industry, maritime laws are made and implemented. One of these laws is the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 or the Jones Act. It aims to promote as well as maintain all American merchant marines.

  4. Inevitable Accidents Even if several laws are made in order to protect the welfare of maritime professionals, accidents still happen. Therefore, these professionals become victims of various ocean-related accidents. They end up losing their main source of income as well as their ability to work normally.

  5. Maritime professionals who experience accidents can seek the aid of lawsuit funding in order to fund their lawsuit, medical expenses, monthly mortgages and physical therapy bills. Otherwise, they will succumb to the pressures of the defendant.

  6. Gather Enough Evidence If you are a victim of maritime accidents, you must first gather enough evidence and documents in order to prove that the injuries you sustained is due to the negligence of your employer. Seek medical attention and help from medical professionals and doctors in order to obtain a certification regarding your physical condition.

  7. Consult with a reliable and trustworthy lawyer about your case. Your lawyer will help you gather the evidence you need in order to win your case. He or she will also help defend you in court.

  8. Applying for a Legal Funding Since most victims of maritime misfortunes lose their ability to work, they do not have the means to fund their lawsuits. Fortunately, there are many legal settlement funding companies that provide financial assistance for those who cannot afford to fight for their rights in court.

  9. Litigants can simply submit the documents related to their case. The lawsuit funding companies will determine and decide whether they will grant the loan or not. Litigants do not have to worry about the application process, as they only have to prove that they can win the case.

  10. Once approved, the company will grant the legal funding to the litigant as soon as the processing is done. Litigants can use the money in order to fund their daily, medical and legal expenses. This way, they do not have to settle for a lesser and unfair payment.
