Skilled Pursuit of Jones Act, Longshore Act, and Other Injury Claims
We recognize the importance of the shipping, oil and gas industry to our Louisiana and Gulf Coast economies — as well as the substantial physical risks shouldered by those who keep these industries running. We also understand admiralty law and the specific federal protections available to workers in the shipping industry, including:
- Jones Act coverage for seamen injured on maritime vessels
- The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), providing medical treatment and injury compensation for most dock workers and others not covered by the Jones Act
