Workers whose jobs require them to work in areas close to navigable waters such as ports and stations for boats, barges, and ferries receive special protections from work-related diseases and injuries in the form of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. This particular area of law is one of our many specialties. We make sure that workers who fall under Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act protection recover for their injuries. If you have been injured in the course of your employment that requires you to work on or near areas close navigable waters, please contact us for immediate attention at 1-888-GINARTE.
