Whether you are injured or are the surviving relative of someone who was tragically killed in a crash, what you do immediately after the accident can have a huge impact on the rest of your case.
Do not sign anything without first consulting an attorney. Many times insurance companies will tell you that you are required to sign a medical authorization, so that they can have access to your medical records related to the helicopter crash.
What many people do not realize, however, is that the authorization gives the helicopter company and the insurance company access to
all of your records - even those ones that are not directly related to the crash.
The insurance company can then use preexisting medical conditions against you during your claim.
If you or someone you know has suffered injury in a maritime helicopter accident while on the job, contact maritime injury attorney Brian Beckcom immediately at 877.724.7800.
