The waterfront is a fast-paced and dangerous place to work, where injuries are an unfortunate fact of life. And to make matters worse, many claims related to those injuries are denied, putting unnecessary economic hardship onto those who are injured.
If you’ve been injured on the job, there are five steps that you should take to increase the chances that your claim will be paid promptly:
- Report Your Injury
- Collect Witness Contact Information
- Take Photos of the Accident Scene
- Get Medical Attention (this may be your first priority!)
- Contact an Experienced Maritime Attorney
