Long Shoreman
Without the hard and dedicated labor of longshoremen, the shipping industry would come to a halt and likely the American economy as well. These people labor tirelessly under extreme conditions and far too many of them struggle with on the job injuries all too frequently.
Fortunately, Congress enacted the Longshoreman and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act in order to provide legal protection for on the job injuries. The LHWCA protects land workers who must from time to time enter shipping vessels, oil rigs and vessels under repair in shipyards. Longshoremen must qualify in many of the same ways seamen must qualify in order to receive compensation.
Chris Parks, P.C. has handled numerous cases for longshoremen injured in local shipyards. One of these cases was turned down by other lawyers because it was “unwinnable.” Yet, we were able to obtain a seven-figure recovery on this longshoreman case within a year.
If you are a longshoreman injured in your line of work, you have rights. Maritime law can be extremely complicated and without dedicated and experienced legal guidance, you may lose out on the compensation you deserve. Contact Chris Parks, P.C. today - we are ready to fight for your rights.
