Accidents on Navigable Waters
Learn what to do if a work accident occurs on navigable water and how workers’ compensation can help.
Just because you’re not in a factory and you’re not in an office doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of workers’ compensation. The rule of this compensation is that if you can prove the accident occurred while you were working safely, then you can start looking into being compensated for injuries.
