America’s ports and coastal industries play a critical role in the U.S. economy. From major shipping hubs to offshore operations across the country, thousands of maritime employees spend their days on ships, docks, and offshore vessels. When an accident occurs, recovery can take months, and waiting for compensation can be financially overwhelming.
Liberty One Legal Funding helps injured seamen and maritime workers get the financial relief they need through fast, transparent Jones Act lawsuit funding. Our pre-settlement advances provide immediate access to cash without credit checks, monthly payments, or upfront costs. If your case does not result in a settlement, you owe nothing.
What Is Jones Act Lawsuit Funding?
Jones Act lawsuit funding provides injured maritime workers with access to a portion of their future settlement while their case is pending. It’s not a loan, it’s a form of non-recourse funding, which means repayment is only required if your case is successful.
The Jones Act (also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920) allows seamen to sue their employers for negligence that causes injuries while working aboard vessels in navigable waters. Cases can take months or even years to resolve, leaving injured workers struggling with medical bills and living costs.
Funding from Liberty One offers a lifeline to help you manage expenses, care for your family, and focus on recovery while your attorney handles the legal process.

Understanding the Jones Act and Your Rights
The Jones Act protects employees who qualify as “seamen”—those who contribute to the operation or mission of a vessel and spend at least 30% of their work time aboard. The law allows these workers to hold employers accountable for negligence that leads to injury.
Examples of negligence include:
- Failure to maintain safe working conditions,
- Inadequate training or supervision,
- Defective or poorly maintained equipment,
- Excessive work hours leading to fatigue, and
- Unsafe deck surfaces or fall hazards.
Under the Jones Act, you may recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future earning capacity. However, these cases can take considerable time to investigate and settle. Maritime lawsuit funding bridges the gap between injury and justice by providing quick financial relief.
Benefits of Pre-Settlement Funding
Injured seamen and dockworkers often experience financial stress after an accident. Maritime injury legal funding gives you access to cash without waiting for your case to end, helping you stay current on bills and focus on healing.
Funding can help you pay for:
- Rent or mortgage payments,
- Utility and grocery expenses,
- Transportation and vehicle repairs,
- Medical care and rehabilitation, and
- Support for your family.
Access to pre-settlement funding also allows your attorney to negotiate from a position of strength rather than accepting an early, low settlement offer.
Who Qualifies for Legal Funding Under the Jones Act?
You can qualify for legal funding in Jones Act cases if you were injured while working on or near navigable waters and are represented by an attorney. Commonly funded cases involve:
- Offshore drilling or oil platform accidents,
- Tugboat or barge injuries,
- Commercial fishing or cargo ship accidents,
- Dock or port-related injuries, and
- Vessel collisions or equipment failures.
Workers based in major ports and maritime hubs across the country regularly qualify for funding through Liberty One. Even if your case is still in progress, we can quickly evaluate your eligibility.
