If I Am Injured at Sea Am I Required to See a Company Doctor?
In order to avoid these potential problems, our New York and New Jersey maritime injury lawyers suggest that injured seamen obtain treatment from an independent doctor whom they trust. Your doctor should be appropriately qualified and fair in his or her assessment of your injuries.
If your employer attempts to require you to see a company doctor, or if you have any questions about your rights as an injured seaman, please contact the New Jersey and New York maritime accident attorneys at Hofmann & Schweitzer for more information.
