See What Our Clients Have to Say About Poolson | Oden Injury Lawyers
The law firm you choose to handle your Jones Act claim can make a significant difference in your case. Here is what our previous clients say:
- Allen Ritchie: If you ever find yourself in the trenches of a legal battle, Danny and Carisa are the lawyers you want by your side. They will fight tirelessly to make sure your voice is heard, and you receive the full measure of justice you deserve.
- Jeff Melancon: My family recently found ourselves in need of a law firm after a serious injury to my father. The Poolson Oden Law Firm came highly recommended through a family friend.
Although this injury was a traumatic and emotional turmoil for my family, Danny and Carisa were there for us in our time of need. Their entire firm acted professionally and compassionately throughout the entire experience. Speaking with them was more like working through a problem with extended family rather than an attorney / client experience.
When you find yourself in need of legal assistance, you want someone to understand your point of view and to be compassionate to your experience, but at the same time you want meticulous attention to detail and sternness when dealing with a large public organization. We found just that in Poolson Oden.
If you find yourself in need of a firm that will represent you, look out for your best interest and help you navigate the legal process of dealing with a personal injury, I would highly recommend contacting Poolson Oden Law Firm. Thanks again Danny and Carisa for being there for us.

We Fight Hard to Recover the Full Value of Your Spine Injury Damages
The Jones Act is not the same as workers’ compensation. Rather, you are filing suit against a negligent employer. If your employer put you in danger by failing to provide a safe work environment, we can help injured seamen and maritime workers like you to hold them accountable.
Poolson | Oden Injury Lawyers defines the appropriate compensation package for you. Our Jones Act maritime accident spine injury lawyers build an entire team around your case to fight for a satisfactory financial outcome. Contact our case review team to learn more about your financial recovery options at no charge.
What You Need to Know About Jones Act Notification and Filing Deadlines
Time is an important factor in your injury claim. You should notify your employer of your injury as soon as possible. According to U.S. Code 46 § 30106, you generally have three years to file your Jones Act claim. When we handle your case, we will fight hard to meet all required deadlines.
With our legal service and support, you can avoid running out of time to file your lawsuit, interview witnesses, and preserve evidence.
How Maritime Industry Accidents Lead to Life-Changing Spine Injuries
How your injury occurred—that is, whether or not it was negligence-based—matters. Slippery decks and walkways are a common cause of accidental falls that can lead to spine injuries. Additional causes include:
- Falling from a moving or rocking vessel
- Moving or falling objects and debris
- Flawed, faulty, or poorly maintained rigging
- Improper training or supervision
- Being struck by or caught in equipment
- Heavy lifting and repetitive motion injuries
- Crew Transfer
- Boat Transfer
- Personnel Transfer
- Basket Transfer
- Gangway Transfer
- Helicopter Transfer
- Ship-to-Ship Transfer
- Deficient or defective non-skid decking and/or walkways
Our investigation can uncover the cause of your spine injury. This type of injury can temporarily or permanently change your physical abilities and bring your career to an earlier-than-anticipated end. Our maritime accident law firm is committed to helping you recover compensatory damages accordingly.
Your Evidence Collection Will Prove the Cause and Value of Your Maritime Injury
To support your Jones Act compensation request, our attorneys can collect the following evidence for your case file:
- Medical and mental health care bills
- Lay and expert witness statements
- Internal records and reports
- First responder reports
