Harbor Workers Compensation Act
While longshoremen and harbor workers may not sue their employers for negligence, they can file a special workers' compensation claim for substantial benefits. The federal Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act applies to injured longshoremen, dock workers and others employed in waterfront occupations, including:
- Longshore checkers
- Shipbuilders
- Vessel repair and maintenance workers
- Crane operators
- Terminal workers
- Stevedores
- Shipyard workers
- Marine construction workers
- Workers on gas and oil rig offshore platforms
We also frequently represent injured maritime workers and fishermen in Jones Act injury claims.
