Coping with a Maritime Injury: A Guidebook for Spouses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781984912985)

Often times when we talk to families who have been affected by a maritime injury, it is the wife/girlfriend who provides the foundation of support and encouragement to keep the family going. Her unwavering dedication and patience are often a source of strength during this turbulent time. Because of this, we decided to create a guidebook especially for these women. "Coping with a Maritime Injury" addresses an injury from the perspective of the spouse and provides guidance on how she can support her significant other. In this book we look at the following questions and concerns: - What to Expect the First Few Weeks After an Injury - Does the Company Have to Keep Your Husband Employed? - Does the Company Have to Give Your Husband Time Off? - Should Your Husband Return to Work as Soon as Possible? - Will the Company Try to Videotape Him After His Injury? - If He Hires an Attorney, Will His Company Cut Off His Advances? - Common Short-Term Fixes with Long-Term Consequences - Emotional Support You Can Offer Your Husband - Ideas to Help Your Husband Cope at Home - Life After Filing a Claim - Using Settlement Money Wisely
