http://www.maritimeaccidentattorney.com Having an offshore career can be an extremely dangerous line of work. You may have to operate or work around a lot of heavy duty equipment, and, unfortunately, you are at risk for serious injury. If you work offshore and have suffered a career-ending injury, you are probably worried about what to do next. One option you do have is to file a legal claim for lost wages.
If you have been injured and have a legal claim either against your employer under the Jones Act, or against another company under the General Maritime Law, you may have the right to assert a claim for lost wages. Not only will this claim cover the wages which you lost in the past due to your injury, but the wages which you will not get in the future because your offshore career has ended.
In the case of a career-ending injury, we will hire both an economist and a vocational rehabilitation expert. First the economist will calculate how much money you would have made had you been able to stay in the offshore industry, and then the rehabilitation expert will suggest which jobs you can still work. The difference of the offshore salary and the new salary is the amount of money, which you can claim as lost wages.
