In most cases, yes. Several factors often contribute to the cause of an accident when poor weather is involved. While weather can be unpredictable at sea, the decision to work in certain conditions and the safety protocols that should be followed when employees are working in harsh weather matters greatly in offshore injury claims. Even the decision to leave the port to transport offshore workers to job sites is important and should be examined when an accident occurs. The actions of other employees are another factor. Regardless of the weather at the time of an accident, a maritime injury attorney can review your case and determine what, if any, damages can be sought.
