Check out of list of frequently asked questions when it comes to offshore accidents.

What immediate steps should I take after an offshore accident?

Prioritize your safety and health. Seek medical attention promptly, even for minor injuries, as some symptoms may not appear immediately. Report the incident to your supervisor, document the scene with photos, and gather contact information from witnesses.

How can I protect my rights after an offshore injury?

Avoid discussing the details of the accident with anyone other than necessary parties, such as medical personnel and your attorney. Refrain from posting about the incident on social media, as it can be used against you in legal proceedings.

How long do I have to file a claim after an offshore accident?

In Louisiana, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is one year from the date of the accident. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the legal timeframe.

What documents do I need after the incident?

Obtain the following documents for yourself or your attorney:

Copies of all medical reports and bills.
Copies of your wage records and income tax returns.
Copies of any accident reports or statements given by you.

What evidence is important for my offshore accident claim?

Collect photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Obtain contact information from witnesses and keep records of medical treatments and expenses. This evidence can strengthen your case.

What should I avoid doing after an offshore accident?

Avoid admitting fault, making recorded statements to insurance adjusters without legal counsel, or posting about the accident on social media. These actions can negatively impact your claim.

What role do maritime laws play in offshore accident claims?

Offshore accidents are often governed by complex maritime laws, including the Jones Act and general maritime law. These regulations can affect liability, compensation, and your legal rights, making it important to work with an experienced maritime attorney.

Can I pursue compensation if my offshore accident occurred while working for a contractor?

Yes. Liability may extend beyond your direct employer to include contractors, vessel owners, or third-party companies responsible for safety and maintenance. Proper legal guidance helps identify all potentially liable parties.

How can long-term effects of offshore injuries impact my claim?

Some injuries, such as back trauma, joint damage, or exposure-related conditions, may not be immediately apparent. Documenting long-term effects with medical records can significantly influence the value of your claim.
