The first step in maritime accident disputes is knowing what type of maritime law affords you more protection and gives you wider grounds to base your claims on; this, however, hinges on what type of injury you sustain, its probable causes and its effects on your mental, physical well-being, as well as to your foregone earning capacity.
Injuries from offshore accidents often include simple back injuries, burns, lung damage from chemical exposure, mutilation and concussions. Having a professional maritime lawyer the moment you sustain an offshore injury gives you an immediate and better understanding on where your legal standing is, what rights you possess and how much you deserve to recover as damages.
