FAQs
Offshore Injuries
- Can injured maritime workers pursue punitive damages in addition to maintenance and cure?
- I slipped and fell on a boat off the Gulf Coast and broke my arm. How do I know if I need an offshore injury lawyer for my maritime accident?
- I had a heart attack while working on a cruise ship. Is my employer still responsible for compensating me?
Can I get compensation for a neck injury that occurred while working offshore?
A: Since offshore work involves manual labor, frequent work accidents involving offshore neck injuries can occur to maritime workers. When a neck injury occurs on the job, you should be able to get compensation for your medical bills. However, there are different laws that govern maritime accidents and injuries.
Your medical bills in your offshore accident should be covered by your employer. You may be eligible for maintenance and cure payments, which is the compensation for your medical bills and part of your salary. If you are considered a seaman, then your medical bills, salary and other compensation should be covered under the Jones Act.
If your employer has denied you these benefits or is delaying compensation for your lost wages and medical bills, then you should speak with a Jones Act attorney immediately to find out your rights under this federal law.
