Maritime and Offshore Injury FAQ

Understanding Your Rights After An Injury

As a maritime worker, you are no stranger to the amount of dangers and risks that are lurking around every corner at your jobsite. Maritime law may seem complicated and difficult to navigate because not only is every accident situation different, every employer, state, and particular maritime occupation is different. You may even be wondering if your injuries can be compensated for. Every offshore worker is entitled to particular rights; it is just a matter of knowing what those rights are.

One question you may be facing is how long you have to file a maritime injury claim. In these cases, you shouldn't hesitate to seek legal help from someone who knows maritime law and can help you understand your rights as a seaman or family of a seaman. Another serious question you may be facing is whether or not you will get fired for speaking with an attorney. You should never be afraid of your employer, and we can guarantee that speaking with us will be absolutely confidential. Serious questions such as the ones above are best answered by an attorney.
