docks in Portland, Bath, Searsport, or anywhere along Maine&#8217;s waterfront, you need an attorney who understands federal maritime law. The <a href=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/national-longshoreman-injury-attorneys\/\" title=\"National Longshoreman Accident &amp; Injury Attorneys\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"137\">Longshore and Harbor Workers&#8217; Compensation Act covers your injury<\/a>, not state workers&#8217; comp, and the claims process is complex. Deadlines are strict, insurers often deny valid claims, and one mistake can cost you the benefits you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grossman Attorneys at Law has spent years helping longshoremen and harbor workers secure maximum compensation under the LHWCA. We know how to build strong cases, negotiate aggressively with insurance companies, and take your claim to trial when settlement offers fall short. You focused on doing a dangerous job to support your family. Now let us fight for the medical care and lost wages you need to recover. Call today for a free consultation. We&#8217;re here to help you move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"understanding-the-longshore-and-harbor-workers-compensation-act-lhwca\">Understanding the Longshore and Harbor Workers&#8217; Compensation Act (LHWCA)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been injured while working on Maine&#8217;s docks, waterfronts, or harbor facilities, the Longshore and Harbor Workers&#8217; Compensation Act (LHWCA) likely protects you. This federal law provides specific benefits and legal protections for maritime workers that differ markedly from standard workers&#8217; compensation and other maritime injury laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding what LHWCA covers, whether you qualify for benefits, and how it compares to other maritime legal options is essential to securing the full compensation you deserve after a workplace accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also review recent decisions and appeal procedures through the Department of Labor\u2019s Benefits Review Board, which provides guidance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/brb\/welcome\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">appeals information<\/a> and published decisions relevant to LHWCA claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/grossmanattorneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maine_s_diverse_strategic_maritime_hubs_hqim2.jpg\" alt=\"maine s diverse strategic maritime hubs\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-lhwca-coverage\">What is LHWCA Coverage?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working on the docks, loading ships, or performing maritime construction along Maine&#8217;s waterfront puts you under federal protection through the Longshore and Harbor Workers&#8217; Compensation Act (LHWCA). This coverage scope extends to injuries occurring on navigable waters or adjoining areas like piers, terminals, and shipyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re protected whether you&#8217;re repairing vessels, handling cargo, or building maritime structures. However, maritime exclusions apply to certain workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a seaman covered under the Jones Act or a master or crew member of a vessel, you&#8217;ll fall outside LHWCA coverage and under different maritime laws instead. Under the LHWCA, covered workers may receive medical benefits and wage loss compensation administered by the OWCP and DLHWC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-qualifies-for-lhwca-benefits\">Who Qualifies for LHWCA Benefits?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your eligibility for LHWCA benefits hinges on two critical tests: your job status and your work location. The employment status requirement means you must be an employee, not an independent contractor. You&#8217;ll need to show your employer controlled your work duties and schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eligibility criteria also demand that your injury occurred on navigable waters or in adjoining areas used for maritime activities. This includes piers, docks, terminals, and shipyards. Covered areas also include dry docks, marine railways, and other adjoining locations customarily used for vessel loading, unloading, repairing, dismantling, or building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maine&#8217;s extensive coastline and busy ports mean many workers qualify for LHWCA coverage. Meeting both tests establishes your right to benefits under federal maritime law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-lhwca-differ-from-other-maritime-laws\">How Does LHWCA Differ from Other Maritime Laws?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding which maritime law applies to your case determines the benefits you&#8217;ll receive and the legal process you&#8217;ll follow. The LHWCA provides no-fault workers&#8217; compensation benefits, meaning you don&#8217;t need to prove employer negligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, the Jones Act requires seamen to prove negligence for recovery. General maritime law offers comparative jurisdiction in some cases, allowing injured workers multiple recovery options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LHWCA&#8217;s remedial purpose focuses on providing medical care and wage replacement benefits regardless of fault. This distinction matters markedly because it affects your available compensation, legal burden of proof, and case strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id75028_09d59e-a2{margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px;}.kb-row-layout-id75028_09d59e-a2 >

You're entitled to all reasonable and necessary medical treatment, including surgeries, physical therapy, and specialist consultations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Act also provides telehealth coverage for remote medical appointments, ensuring you can access care regardless of location. Your employer's insurance carrier maintains prescription oversight to approve necessary medications. You won't face copays or deductibles for approved treatment. If disputes arise about medical necessity, you can request an independent medical examination to support your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disability-benefits\">Disability Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a longshoreman injured on the job in Maine, you'll receive compensation for lost wages through disability benefits that replace a portion of your income while you recover. The Longshore Act provides temporary or permanent disability payments based on your injury's severity and duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These benefits typically equal two-thirds of your average weekly wage, tax-free. If you can't return to your previous position, you're entitled to vocational rehabilitation services to help you develop new job skills. Unlike private disability insurance, Longshore benefits continue as long as your work-related disability persists, with no arbitrary time limits on your recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"death-benefits\">Death Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a workplace accident claims the life of a longshoreman in Maine, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act provides substantial death benefits to surviving family members who depended on the worker's income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These survivor benefits typically include two-thirds of the deceased worker's average weekly wage, paid to eligible dependents. Spouses generally receive benefits until remarriage, while dependent children receive support until age eighteen or longer if disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Act also covers funeral expenses up to $3,000. Wrongful death claims under the Longshore Act guarantee families aren't left financially devastated after losing their primary wage earner to a preventable workplace tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"additional-damages\">Additional Damages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond basic workers' compensation benefits, Maine longshoremen can't pursue additional damages like pain and suffering or punitive damages through the Longshore Act itself\u2014the Act provides exclusive remedy for most workplace injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you might recover punitive damages and emotional distress compensation if a third party caused your accident. For example, if a negligent equipment manufacturer or contractor contributed to your injuries, you could file a separate lawsuit outside the Longshore system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These third-party claims aren't limited by workers' compensation restrictions, allowing you to seek full damages including pain, suffering, and emotional harm. We'll evaluate all potential claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"statute-of-limitations-for-filing-a-lhwca-claim\">Statute of Limitations for Filing a LHWCA Claim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Time limits matter materially when filing a Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act claim, and missing these deadlines can permanently eliminate your right to compensation. You must report your injury within 30 days and file your claim within one year of the accident or from when you first learned your condition was work-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These filing deadlines are strict, though certain circumstances allow claim tolling\u2014temporary pausing of the time limit. Exceptions exist for circumstances beyond your control, but relying on extensions is risky. Contacting an experienced attorney immediately after your injury protects your rights and guarantees compliance with all procedural requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id2652_63c66e-56{margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px;}.kb-row-layout-id2652_63c66e-56 >

Insurance carriers employ teams of lawyers who understand how to minimize payouts. They'll use technical procedural requirements and strict deadlines against you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An attorney specializing in LHWCA claims levels the playing field. Your lawyer handles benefits negotiation, ensuring you receive maximum compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, and permanent disability. They'll counter lowball settlement offers and, when necessary, take your case to trial. Legal representation transforms complicated maritime law into results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-choose-grossman-attorneys-for-your-maine-lhwca-claim\">Why Choose Grossman Attorneys for Your Maine LHWCA Claim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you're injured on the job as a maritime worker in Maine, selecting the right legal representation can mean the difference between a quick settlement that falls short and the full compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grossman Attorneys at Law is a respected maritime law firm with over 40 years of experience representing injured workers across the nation.
