Steps to take after an offshore or maritime helicopter accident

It is imperative to document everything after a helicopter crash. Make sure to obtain any and all crash reports and findings from the NTSB or the FAA. Witness statements are also important and can have a huge impact on a claim. It may even be beneficial to save newspaper articles of the crash. 

You may not be in any condition to take photographs of the scene, or it may be impossible to do so based on where the helicopter lands. Most likely, other media outlets or the company who operated the helicopter will have photographs taken. Obtaining copies of this digital information is imperative to preserving what the conditions were like at the time of the crash. They will also most likely be used as evidence if the case were to go to trial.
