In addition the answer below-

In the event of injury following an accident:
 
 At sea, notify your owner or manager, and obtain radio medical advice from CIRM;
Refer to Ship captains medical guide,
 Complete the company accident report, write a detailed description of what happened (these notes will help to refresh your memory during the subsequent interview with your lawyer);
 Ask witnesses to write a detailed description of what they saw or heard (you will need a special form for this which is
normally supplied by your owner or manager);
 If the ships equipment or the ships structure was involved in the injury, examine the equipment, take photographs of
the place where the accident occurred, record the time and the date of photographs, and retain and properly label any evidence. Obtain a copy of the maintenance record of the equipment and any applicable test certificate;
 Inspect the location where the accident occurred with the P & I Clubs appointed surveyor or local correspondent at arrival port (at sea leave the area undisturbed till arrival port)
 Keep detailed records of all medical treatment given on board and any independent advice received.

Investigate and complete your company accident report form (for all accidents, not just for crew injuries);

Do not give any other statement except to the lawyer appointed by the Club;
Do not express an opinion as to what happened
If Medevac is possible by chopper plan for same.
