Suffering a maritime injury can be a traumatic experience, whether it happened while you were on vacation or at work. Knowing what steps to take in the aftermath is crucial. If you or a loved one has been injured in a maritime accident in Canada, it is important to take the following actions:

• Seek Medical Attention: Your health and well-being should be your top priority. Seek immediate medical attention for any injuries sustained in the accident. Even if you believe your injuries are minor, it is essential to have a thorough medical evaluation to ensure that all injuries are properly diagnosed and treated.
• Report the Incident: Report the maritime accident to the appropriate authorities. This may include the Canadian Coast Guard, Transport Canada, or local law enforcement agencies. Reporting the incident will help create an official record of the accident, which can be valuable when pursuing a legal claim.
• Document the Scene: If possible, gather evidence at the scene of the accident. Take photographs or videos of the area, including any hazards or conditions that may have contributed to the accident. Collect contact information from any witnesses who may have seen the incident occur.
• Preserve Evidence: Preserve any evidence related to the accident, including medical records, photographs, videos, accident reports, and any correspondence with the involved parties or authorities. This evidence will be crucial in building a strong case for your maritime injury claim.
• Consult with a Maritime Injury Lawyer: It is essential to consult with an experienced maritime injury lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. Our skilled attorneys will assess the details of your case, explain your legal rights and options, and guide you through the legal process. They will work diligently to protect your rights, gather evidence, and pursue the compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering.
