Injured Longshoreman Lawyers
What is the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act or simply known as the Longshoremen Act?
The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) is a federal law that provides longshoremen and harbor workers the right to compensation after being hurt on the job. This compensation is intended to pay for medical treatment and lost wages that result from these on-the-job injuries, including those involving oil rig workers, longshoremen, port crane operators, vessel repair workers and other occupations.
