What if my employer is located in a different state than where I was injured?

If you are a maritime worker who was injured in the state of New Hampshire, but your employer is located in a different state, maritime injury law still applies. Maritime injury law is a body of law that is specifically designed to protect maritime workers who are injured in the course of their employment. This law applies regardless of the location of the employer or injured worker. Under maritime injury law, workers are eligible to receive compensation for lost wages, medical treatments, and other expenses related to the injury. This compensation is typically provided by the employer or the employer’s insurance company. In some cases, the injured maritime worker can also sue their employer in order to receive additional compensation. In all cases, the injured maritime worker is required to report the injury immediately in order to be eligible to receive compensation. They must also file a claim with the appropriate federal or state agency within 30 days in order to receive the full amount of compensation that they are entitled to. Maritime injury law can be complicated, which is why it is important to contact an experienced maritime injury lawyer if you are injured in the state of New Hampshire. A lawyer can help you through the process and ensure that you get the maximum amount of compensation that you are entitled to.
