Longshore & Harbor Worker

Covering injuries suffered while working on the building, repair, maintenance, loading or unloading of a vessel, Longshore claims can present a myriad of issues. The most common are:

• Acceptance of the claim
• Establishing an accurate average weekly wage
• Authorization for medical conditions or treatment options
• Return-to-work and vocational issues
• Lost wage-earning capacity
• Permanent impairment
• Future medical expenses
