The Law Offices of Bradford & Barthel has a team of attorneys to represent employers in defense of Federal Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) claims. We can confidently provide a thorough and effective defense to help employers navigate the complex jurisdictional questions presented by overlapping federal and state workers’ compensation laws.
We help clients quickly determine if alleged longshore injuries meets the required location “situs” test and if the actual job and work activity that was being performed at the time of injury meets the “status” test for LHWCA coverage. If it does not meet the criteria for those tests, we will help controvert the claim.
We are available anytime to discuss and answer questions on the situs and status tests, and can help with other LHWCA issues in clients’ caseloads.
