What is the Longshore Act?

The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) is a federal law in the United States that provides workers' compensation benefits to employees who are injured or become ill while working on navigable waters, such as harbors, docks, terminals, and adjoining areas. Enacted in 1927 and later amended, the LHWCA is designed to cover employees engaged in maritime occupations that are not covered by state workers' compensation laws. This includes workers involved in activities such as shipbuilding, ship repair, and loading and unloading of vessels. The LHWCA provides medical benefits, disability compensation, and vocational rehabilitation services to eligible workers. It is an essential component of ensuring that maritime workers are protected and fairly compensated for injuries or illnesses arising from their work on or near navigable waters. Attorneys familiar with the Longshore Act, like Karl F. von Reuter, play a crucial role in helping individuals navigate the complexities of the claims process and ensuring their rights are upheld.
