Claiming your injury isn’t serious or that it wasn’t work-related is a common strategy that employers can use to avoid liability. This is why notifying your employer of your accident in writing, taking photos of your injuries, and keeping detailed medical records, can be crucial to supporting your claim. If you’ve been injured in an offshore accident while performing your work duties and your supervisor isn’t taking your injuries seriously, gather all the evidence and information possible related to your accident, and consult an attorney as soon as possible.
