What Is Jones Act Lawsuit Funding?

The Jones Act, also known as the Merchant Marine Act, is a federal law that regulates shipping between U.S. ports. A provision of the law allows maritime workers to sue their employers for damages for injuries they sustain due to negligence or unsafe conditions caused by the employer.

Because of the complex nature of these maritime lawsuits, the legal process often takes months or even years to reach a settlement, which can have financial consequences for the plaintiff.

At Pegasus, we offer cash advances to plaintiffs who are likely to win a settlement from a maritime lawsuit. Our pre- and post-settlement funding can help you keep your financial ship afloat as the legal process unfolds.

Are Jones Act Lawsuit Loans the Same as Traditional Loans?

Technically, our funding solutions are not maritime lawsuit loans. Instead, we offer non-recourse borrowing options for plaintiffs. This process relieves your personal liability — you don't have to repay the advance if you don't win your lawsuit. We only collect money from your settlement if you win your case. Additionally, you can receive the funds without collateral or monthly payments.

Types of Jones Act Lawsuits We Cover

At Pegasus, we cover a variety of personal injury cases that may fall under the Jones Act, such as:

Slipping and falling on a poorly maintained ship deck
Faulty onboard equipment
Collision due to improper navigation
Getting hurt because of fatigue from excessive work hours

How Pre-Settlement Fund Helps Jones Act Lawsuit Plaintiffs

With pre-settlement funding, qualifying applicants have immediate access to a cash advance based on the details of their case. This allows you to cover all your expenses while waiting for your settlement. Even if it takes a significant amount of time for your case to settle, you can cover costs like:

Rent
Living expenses
Medical bills

Legal funding can also relieve pressures to accept a low settlement, allowing you to negotiate for a better outcome from a position of security.

Who Qualifies for Jones Act Pre-Settlement Funding?

Depending on the details of the case, Pegasus can provide maritime legal funding to seamen injured while working on many types of vessels, including ships, yachts, cruise ships, barges, tugboats and container ships. Workers on oil rigs and platforms or those who perform their duties along inland rivers or other waterways may also qualify.
