Helping Longshore & Harbor Workers in Rhode Island

Maritime Lawyers in Providence & Middletown Seeking Compensation & Benefits

The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) is a federal workers' compensation act that pays workers' compensation for maritime employees who are not seamen. The LHWCA covers employees who work near the water but not on vessels in navigable waters. These injured workers are not seamen and are covered by the LHWCA, not the Jones Act or unseaworthiness under maritime law.

Employees who are covered by the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act include:

Dock and pier workers
Workers in shipping terminals
Workers in shipyards
Workers who unload fishing boats or work in fish processing

The benefits paid to longshoremen and harbor workers include weekly workers' compensation to replace the lost weekly paycheck while injured, medical benefits, scarring and loss of use, and in some cases, a settlement.
