Helicopters may be the preferred method of transportation to offshore rigs,
but they can be dangerous. If you were hurt while being transported by
helicopter to a rig, you need to protect your interests. Make sure you
seek medical care, take notes about what happened, inform your employer,
and avoid signing anything or making an official statement. You do not
want to jeopardize your right to full and fair compensation by signing
a document or agreeing to a settlement that limits your employer’s
liability. Your life has been changed by this incident. Make sure you
get the compensation you need to put the pieces back together.
