If you were injured while working at sea, you already know the toll it takes. The Jones Act gives you the right to pursue compensation, but lawsuits under this law often drag on for months—or even years—before reaching a settlement. Meanwhile, bills don’t stop. Medical costs pile up, household expenses keep coming, and being out of work can push you into a financial corner fast.

At Baker Street Funding, we provide Jones Act pre-settlement funding to help you stay financially stable while your case moves forward. Our funding is non-recourse, meaning you only repay if you win or settle your case. If you lose, you owe Baker Street Funding nothing.

What Is the Jones Act?

The Jones Act (46 U.S.C. § 30104) is a federal law that protects seamen who are injured due to their employer’s negligence or unsafe working conditions. Unlike traditional workers’ compensation, the Jones Act allows maritime workers to directly sue their employers for damages.

This makes Jones Act claims unique: they combine personal injury law with maritime law, which means they can be complex and heavily contested by employers and their insurers.

Injuries Covered Under the Jones Act

Maritime work is dangerous. From oil rigs to fishing vessels, accidents happen quickly and can be catastrophic. Jones Act cases often involve:

Traumatic brain injuries from falls or being struck by equipment
Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis or reduced mobility
Crush injuries caused by heavy machinery or shifting cargo
Severe burns from fires or explosions on vessels
Amputations and permanent loss of function
Fatal work accident claims brought by families of seamen who were fatally injured

These are not minor injuries—they are life-changing. Recovery is long, expensive, and uncertain, and it often leaves workers unable to earn a living while the legal process unfolds.

Why Jones Act Lawsuits Take Time

Maritime employers and their insurance companies rarely pay out quickly. They fight hard to minimize their liability, sometimes disputing everything from the cause of the accident to the extent of your injuries.

Your attorney may need to gather medical evidence, accident reports, expert testimony, and witness statements. All of this takes time. And while your lawyer fights for the full value of your claim, you may feel financial pressure to settle early for less than you deserve.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps

Jones Act pre-settlement funding is not a traditional loan. It’s a non-recourse cash advance against your expected settlement. Here’s what that means for you:

You don’t make monthly payments.
If you lose your case, you owe us nothing.
Funds can be used for living expenses, rent, medical bills, or anything you need.
It lets you hold out for the settlement you deserve so you don’t have to accept a lowball payout just to pay the bills.

Legal funding eases your financial stress so you can focus on your recovery and let your lawyer handle the fight.
