What will an insurance company offer as settlement after a maritime or offshore helicopter crash?

It is virtually impossible to say what an insurance company will offer you for your injuries after a maritime or offshore helicopter crash. However, all insurance companies are required to carry insurance to cover these types of claims. 

The amount of the settlement will depend on the seriousness of the injury. In most cases, the more severe the injury is, the higher the settlement amount will be. 

In a wrongful death case, the settlements can reach into the millions of dollars. Again, it depends on how much the person was making in wages before he or she was killed, whether the person was married or had minor children, and the nature of the crash. We understand that it is impossible to comprehend putting a price tag on the life of someone who was fatally injured in a helicopter crash, but we want the reader to view the situation through the eyes of the helicopter company and their insurance carrier. 

One thing is fairly certain. The company will almost never offer a full and fair settlement unless you have an aggressive and competent attorney to handle the case. You need an attorney who is ready, willing, and able to hold the company accountable for all of your damages - not just the ones the insurance company deems important - all the way through a jury trial and appeals process if necessary.
