Offshore Supply Boat Injuries

Offshore Supply Boat Crewmen's Right to Compensation For Injuries

Crewmen injured on offshore supply vessels or crew vessels are protected by Federal Maritime Law. The Jones Act and the General Maritime Law govern injuries by crewmen on offshore supply vessels and crew vessels. Your employer and the vessel owner owe you a safe place to work and a seaworthy vessel. If you have been injured through negligence or unseaworthiness, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries. Damages include compensation for past and future wage loss, lost earning capacity, physical and mental pain and suffering, medical expenses, and loss of enjoyment of life. In almost all cases, your employer must pay all of your medical expenses associated with the injury. You have the right to choose your own doctor.

In serious injury and accident cases, the insurance company and their claims adjuster immediately begin to defend against your claim. No matter how it may seem, the marine insurance adjuster assigned to your claim is not your friend. They are working for the insurance company and trying to limit the amount of money that will be paid as a result of your injury.
