Do you know what you are signing? Avoid being tricked after an injury at sea.
It is important to always be aware of what you are signing. This holds true in a maritime accident as well. If you have been injured in an accident at sea, Jones Act and maritime injury accident lawyer Brain Beckcom recommends not signing anything that says “release” or “waiver” or any language like that.
Some offshore employers will tell you that you’ve got to sign off on documents before you get medical attention, or get paid, etc. This may be a trick. If you are given any documents to sign after an injury at sea, you should STRONGLY consider having those documents reviewed by an independent lawyer before signing them.
Jones Act and maritime accident injury attorney Brain Beckcom is experienced in handling injuries at sea. Read his book The Insider’s Guide to Winning Your Maritime Injury Case written by Jones Act and maritime accident injury lawyer Brian Beckcom today to learn what to do if you are ever injured at sea.
