LOSS OF EARNING CAPACITY AFTER AN OFFSHORE ACCIDENT

A worker can receive financial benefits that compensate for their lost earning capacity. Factors used to determine what an individual could have earned prior to their injury include:

  • Age
  • habits
  • health
  • education
  • training
  • skills

Proving loss of earning capacity in a personal injury case is difficult. Therefore, it is essential to enlist the help of an attorney.

An attorney can collect testimonies from experts and get the most benefits possible. A physician must testify that an injury’s symptoms will persist into the future. Another expert needed may be a vocational specialist. A vocational expert will be able to determine an injury’s effect on employment. Finally, a forensic economist can determine the amount of financial loss due to an injury.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAMS AND LAWS

The Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation oversees offshore injuries and death. However, the OWCP will not give an injured worker legal advice or help. Therefore, it is important to have the representation of a personal injury attorney.

The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) is an extension of the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. The Act is a federal law that ensures the payment of compensation. Including medical care, and vocational rehabilitation to workers injured offshore.
