Maritime Accidents
If you have been involved in an accident at sea or in port operations.
Seafaring is a demanding and sometimes dangerous profession, but sailors enjoy extensive compensation rights if they are injured while working at sea. They are entitled to compensation for the consequences of the accident in the same way as those involved in traffic accidents - regardless of whether the accident can be traced to mistakes or negligence.
Sailors who are involved in accidents may be entitled to the following compensation:
- Expenses related to the accident, such as medical costs, ambulance costs, medication costs, physiotherapy costs, etc.
- Loss of income. If people become unable to work due to an accident, they are entitled to receive compensation for lost income from the insurance company after the employer's wage obligation ends, until stability is reached.
- Compensation for suffering.
- Compensation for permanent injury.
- Compensation for permanent disability.
- Legal costs for the most part.
- Other financial losses.
Due to the extensive rights of sailors in workplace accident cases, it is important to claim your rights. Check your case free of charge.
