Los Angeles Maritime Injury Attorney

California Maritime Injury Lawyers

Because maritime law is regulated by the federal government, California maritime injury claims can be complicated when nautical employees are injured and in need of workers' compensation. Not only is jurisdiction an issue, but the work itself can be especially risky and dangerous.

To help make the process easier for maritime workers, the Merchant Marine Act (Jones Act) and the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) were created, but unfortunately things can still be complicated and messy. Even if an injury seems simple and straightforward, hiring a Southern California maritime injury lawyer from Steinberg & Spencer will help injured workers wade through the legal red tape and ensure they get the compensation they deserve.

People who work on boats, ships, other nautical vessels, or work onshore in nautical tasks may be eligible for California maritime injury benefits. The LHWCA is governed by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Standard's Administration, and is designed to provide medical benefits and compensation for lost wages, rehabilitation services, and other benefits to employees who are injured over the course of employment or contract an occupational disease related to their work.

If you are a maritime worker injured in the course of your duties, contact the Southern California maritime injury lawyers at Steinberg & Spencer. We'll help you make sense of the legal complications and fight to get the compensation you need for medical bills, prescriptions, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. Don't hesitate—call us today!
