- Wrongful Death
- Workers CompensationWhen a worker is injured in a harbor incident, they are entitled to benefits through the Longshoreman & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). As this process can be complex because a federal Longshore case also can continue to be tried at the state Workers Compensation Appeals Board, while simultaneously at the Department of Labor, an experienced legal advocate is recommended. This can be even further complicated, if the harbor accident was caused by third party negligence.

- Social Security DisabilityMany of our workers compensation and personal injury clients are severely disabled and qualify for social security disability benefits. This can be a long and arduous appeals process. A competent attorney with knowledge in the area can be extremely helpful. Our office can represent you in your social security claim. Similar to personal injury claims, social security claims can often intertwine with other claims such as a work injury claim, therefore, we can often be more efficient than many other firms as we likely already possess the many necessary medical records within your workers compensation file.
