Fort Lauderdale Longshore Injury Attorney
Miami Beach Harbor Workers Injury Lawyer
Serving Miami and South Florida
If you have been injured on the job as a harbor worker, as a worker on a boat, ship, barge, tug or other vessel, as a worker in a dredging operation, as a diver or as a worker on a secured platform or oil rig, you likely have numerous rights regarding compensation under a broad range of state and federal protections. These include:
- The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation (LHWCA)/"Longshore Act"
- The Jones Act
- Federal admiralty and maritime law
At the Miami law firm of The Law Offices of David M. Cohen, P.A. we have practiced personal injury and workplace injury/ workers' compensation law for many years and have handled hundreds of accident and Longshore injury claims. If you have been injured in a shipping- or harbor-related injury, we can provide experienced and effective legal representation.
Firm attorneys David Cohen and Brad Guldalian have 30 years of combined legal experience. Call 786.629.6993 or 866.913.0305 to discuss your Longshore Act, Jones Act or admiralty law questions.
After an injury, it is necessary to prove cause, liability and damages to insurance companies or court officials to settle a claim or to successfully sue for compensation. We know how to negotiate with insurance companies effectively because we previously worked as insurance company defense attorneys and know how insurers try to minimize and deny claims.
We are also experienced litigators, and have a reputation among insurers as lawyers who will not hesitate to bring a case to court if a sufficient settlement offer is not made. For more information on how we can help you after an open sea- or harbor-related workplace accident, contact us for a free initial consultation.
