After Your Florida Boat Accident: Is It Really You Versus the World?

If you have been injured in a Florida boating accident - be it a simple sprain or a complex injury that company investigators are still trying to unravel - you may quickly find yourself very popular among insurance adjusters and your company's executive team.
You may be asked to provide recorded statements, advised to set appointments with a "company-approved" doctor, or even offered a settlement. If you refuse the company's terms, you may face:

• Cajoling ("Please, take this settlement. We are really on your side!")
• Peer pressure ("Tommy got a worse injury than you, and he came back to work in a week. What's wrong with a little light duty work after three whole weeks off?")
• Blackballing ("Look, do you want to work in the Florida marine industry, or don't you? Get what I'm saying?")

What's really sad is that victims often "give away" their legal rights, simply because they don't have the right information or resources. For instance, if you slightly mischaracterize how the accident took place, a company insurance adjuster can seize on your slip to destroy your case. A simple lapse of judgment can cost you the chance to collect significant compensation to pay for rehabilitation, surgeries, long-term treatment, lost wages, punitive damages, and more.
Victims often feel like it's them versus the world in Florida maritime injury cases. Boating companies employ phenomenally well-paid attorneys and adjusters who have been through the "let's placate/discredit an injured worker" process many times over, whereas this is likely your first time experiencing a serious injury.
In short, not only are you hurt, confused, and confronted by a stark medical prognosis, but a company you once trusted also may be actively plotting to take away your legal rights and minimize how much money you can collect for your pain and suffering.
