5 Maritime & Offshore Details

Complete this section only if your injury occurred on a vessel or at an offshore/maritime work site.

This looks like a maritime claim. We have a dedicated maritime questionnaire that asks the facts that actually decide these cases — how your work time was split between vessel and shore, whether the vessel was moving, and whether you were assigned to a crew or sent to do one discrete job. If you would rather answer those questions instead, start there: Maritime & Admiralty Questionnaire →
