Maritime workers face challenging situations each and every day onboard offshore workplaces. Regardless of how careful your loved one was when working offshore or even if he or she were an excellent swimmer, drowning accidents can happen to anyone at anytime. Whether your loved one fell out of the personnel basket during a crew change in rough weather, lost traction on a slippery deck and went overboard or was struck by heavy equipment and knocked into the sea, you have rights under laws like the Jones Act and the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA) and may be entitled to compensation.
