How can I prove that my maritime injury was caused by the negligence of my employer?

In order to prove that your maritime injury was caused by the negligence of your employer in California, you will need to provide evidence. Generally, the evidence you need to show includes the following: - that your employer had a duty of care towards you and failed to meet those standards; - that your employer’s negligence caused your injury; - that your injury was foreseeable; - that you suffered damages as a result of the injury. The burden to prove the negligence of your employer lies with you. In order to prove these elements, you should provide evidence such as photographic, video, or written documentation of the scene, medical records to show that your injury was due to the incident, and witness statements. You should also include documents that demonstrate that your employer was aware of the issue or failed to provide proper safety equipment. Additionally, you will likely need to consult a maritime lawyer to help you with the legal process. You should discuss the specifics of your case with the lawyer and provide them with the evidence you have gathered. The lawyer can then assess your case and advise you on whether you have a valid claim and if it is worth pursuing.
