Injured In A Shipyard?
Longshoremen and other harbor workers employed in Philadelphia's shipyards keep the local economy alive with their hard labor. When they are injured on the job, too often their health and savings are jeopardized by employers reluctant to recognize their rights under workers' compensation laws.
The federal Longshore and Harbor Workers Act minimizes the impact of injuries for many maritime workers (including a Longshoreman, harbor worker, ship-repairman, ship-builder and ship-breaker). This special workers' compensation act can provide greater benefits to injured maritime employees than Pennsylvania workers' compensation - including the replacement of lost weekly wages.

Contact an experienced maritime lawyer to find out if your work injury can be covered by Longshoremen workers' compensation.
Am I Covered?
After a maritime worker is injured on the job, one of the first things they want to know is whether they will get the medical attention and wage-loss compensation they need while they recover. Remember: After an injury, it's important to report the time and place of the injury to your employer or supervisor immediately. Claims can be denied if not filed on time.
Even if your initial claim is denied by your employer or its insurance company, one of our experienced Longshoremen workers' compensation attorney can file a claim petition to help establish the legitimacy of your case. Once established, you can be eligible to receive full or partial disability compensation, as well as all medical, surgical and hospital treatment and services required by the work-related injury.
