According to government statistics, more than 27,000 maritime workers are disabled or killed each year by employment injuries or occupational diseases.
If you are a maritime worker who has been injured, you want to focus on getting healthy and returning to work, not trying to determine how your claim needs to be filed, and if you are being paid what you deserve.
Maritime workers compensation is complex. Depending on the job you perform, you may be covered under traditional state-based workers compensation, the federal Jones Act, or the federal Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (DLHWC).
If you are an injured longshoreman, you need an experienced lawyer who can help you get the benefits you need, and who can determine if there are any third party claims against manufacturers or other parties.
