It is impossible to comprehend the trauma of losing a loved one in an offshore accident until you experience it for yourself. And that does not even take into account the financial ramifications, which include loss of wages, medical expenses and various other challenges. However, it may be possible to obtain financial compensation if you are able to prove that the loss of your loved one was the result of negligence and/or unseaworthiness. This is thanks to the Death on the High Seas Act, which is designed to help you obtain financial recompense for your loss.
So what exactly is the Death on the High Seas Act (DOHSA)?
Originating back in 1920, the Death on the High Seas Act is designed to help the families of those who lost their lives in international waters, or who were the victims of wrongful death at sea. These days, its parameters have expanded to incorporate cases of air disasters such as plane crashes taking place 12 nautical miles (or more) outside U.S. waters. DOHSA is designed to incentivize employers to implement effective safety measures. Working at sea and harbor work are occupations fraught with risk, with laborers frequently expected to contend with environmental hazards. As such, their safety is in the hands of their employers.
