Injured Longshoremen and Maritime Workers May Qualify for Valuable Benefits

The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act provides comprehensive benefits to injured maritime workers and in cases where the work-related accident is fatal, to their surviving relatives. If you were hurt on the job and qualify under the law, you will begin receiving your financial benefits within 14 days of your injury claim, unless your employer challenges the cause of your injury by filing a document called a notice of controversy.
