In the wake of an offshore accident, you may be left wondering what protections the law provides for you. If you were hurt on a commercial fishing boat, a drillship, a semi-submersible or any other type of sea-going vessel, you are most likely entitled to:
- your wages through the end of the scheduled voyage;
- transportation home;
- medical care (known as “cure”) until your condition stabilizes; and
- a small, daily payment (known as “maintenance”) to cover room and board while you are recuperating.
