International Maritime Injury

The law provides a way to seek compensation for workers harmed in international as well as U.S. waters. Whether you are a U.S. worker injured while working abroad or a foreign worker harmed while working offshore for a U.S. company, you may be entitled to compensation for injuries occurred in performing your job duties.

Maritime injuries arise in the international context when workers are sent from the U.S. to work in foreign waters, such as:
