Longshoremen and Shipyard Workers
California Maritime Lawyer Preston Easley Assists Longshoremen and Shipyard Workers in CA and HI Recover Damages On Shipyard Accident Claims
Longshoring and shipyard work are very dangerous occupations. Workers in these fields, along with marine construction workers, are covered by the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, a very generous no-fault workers’ compensation system. It covers medical expenses, temporary disability, permanent disability, and vocational rehabilitation.
Under the Longshore Act workers’ cannot sue their own employers, but they may sue negligent third parties such as vessel owners, other contractors and manufacturers of defective products, machinery and equipment. The Easley firm has been a pioneer in the fields of Longshore Act law and Longshore Act third party lawsuits. We have made new law in these areas with numerous precedent setting decisions in State Appellate Courts, the Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.
