Dangers of Maritime Employment

Most people don’t fully appreciate the hazards that offshore and maritime workers must contend with each and every day while out at sea. Offshore accidents are distressingly common. Severe weather conditions sometimes arise with little warning. Even under normal conditions, maritime personnel can easily become injured by malfunctioning equipment, corrosive chemicals, flammable materials, open hatches, and a number of other threats.

You need a maritime personal injury lawyer who will pursue all legal options available in order to obtain financial compensation for your troubles.

Maintenance and Cure

A traditional part of general maritime law, maintenance and cure consists of two types of payments that are issued to injured or ailing seamen regardless of their degree of responsibility for their medical issues. As the term suggests, maintenance is intended to enable the maritime worker to maintain an acceptable standard of living while recovering. Cure refers to compensation for the individual’s medical expenses.
