The damages you are entitled to fall under three broad categories: compensation, medical care, and vocational rehabilitation. Compensation covers lost wages that happen as a result of your injuries and could also include longer-term costs like an inability to earn due to disability from your injuries. Medical care includes not only present care like the emergency room but also the future care that your injuries will require. Depending on the extent of your injuries, you may also be eligible to receive training to work in other industries if your injuries cause you to be unable to continue in maritime work.
