Damage in a maritime accident?

 

Marine accidents are often unexpected and unfortunately common due to working with large and large equipment and are common in complex situations even passengers on cruise ships face unexpected personal injuries. Marine workers are not generally protected by state workers' compensation laws. However they are protected by various federal laws and regulations that ensure that in the unfortunate case of any personal injury they will receive appropriate treatment and compensation. As admiralty law cases are important under federal jurisdiction under federal jurisdiction such as the Jones Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), the High Marine Act, Death, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). The Defense Base Act, the Sea-Worthness Act, the Admiralty Act, the Public Vessels Act, the Delimitation Limitation Act, the Non-Allocated Funding Equipment Act and other general maritime regulations. We discuss more of these federal laws and regulations under the page labeled Maritime Workers Rights.

What exactly should I do after a maritime accident?

 

Working in the marine industry puts oneself at a constant disadvantage. Injuries can be caused by the actions or non-actions of your employer and coworkers, but they can also be purely accidental. Even if you think the injury is minor, it is best to document it and if it does not heal or lead to further injury, it is best to seek medical advice. Your employer may provide a doctor to visit you, but you are always allowed to seek out a doctor of your choice. You should make sure to notify your own immediate supervisor and employer of the incident and personal injury after your injury has been documented. You should prepare a written report of what happened as soon as possible. Don't rely on your company or crew members to do it for you. Also do not sign any report that you have not approved or written. You should gather as much information as possible about the accident or injury as soon as possible. It may include pictures of places that accidentally spilled and the machinery worked. Those who have seen the accident or were involved in your personal injury should try to get contact information. If you are not healthy and confident, you will not receive compensation or return to work without proper medical care. Even if you have not seen the problems before, you should contact a lawyer for free advice to make sure you are being treated properly, how to file a claim and if you have a lawsuit. If you go back to work without the help of an attorney or sign a compensation agreement, but if there are more problems in your case, the matter may become more complicated. With our experience and knowledge, we can help guide you through the complex process step by step to ensure that you have been cared for and properly compensated for a maritime accident.

Marine employers and insurance companies hire a team of dedicated attorneys with specific tasks to make your disputes the cheapest and fastest possible. Often this means claiming jurisdiction in foreign countries that limits your compensation.

Can you sue an insurance company other than a maritime accident lawyer?

An insurance company needs a licensed attorney to successfully sue. Many attorneys may claim that they can handle a maritime accident but these cases against insurance companies for maritime accidents require great skills and experience. Many lawyers may claim that they can deal with insurance companies for marine claims, but in reality, only such admiralty law firms like Doyle LLP with decades of industry-experience experience will be able to get you the best possible results.
