Our Gulf Coast maritime injury lawyers note that many serious maritime accident injuries occur when seamen fall from heights to impact hard with surfaces below. This might happen, for instance, if they fall into an open cargo hold. The greater the height from which you fall, the stronger the force of the impact, and the more severe the injuries you might experience. A fall from a height of even 10 or 12 feet could be fatal.
But, on average, less than 30% of people who fall from heights experience fatal injuries. More often, they experience severe injuries that might include permanent disabilities and disfigurements that leave them unable to work and sometimes unable to face going out in public as before. And the costs of the ongoing medical care that such severe and permanent injuries require could be astronomical.
Seamen seriously injured by falling from heights could need experienced Gulf Coast maritime injury lawyers to help them obtain the full financial recovery they need to get on with life after a severe fall on the job.
