You should consult with an attorney immediately. Admiralty claims are much different than injury claims on land. The defendants can owe you a much higher duty and may in many instances have to pay money while the suit is ongoing, called "maintenance and cure". Call or email me and we can discuss your case and get your claim filed ASAP. If we accept your case, we take care of all of the costs up front for you, including the doctor bills, court costs, and other expenses.

By the way, NO WAY should you accept that lowball offer of $500 for your injuries!
