-Military Contractors - Only firm that does this. Not need to prioritize
-Maritime personal injury cases
Q: What insurance is going to cover me?
A: Policies that could bring them into play:
1) Maintenance and cure - jones act workers comp (seaman)
2) LHWCA - longshore harbor workers compensation act - they don't typically handle them but CAN. When a worker is working off the coast of LA on fixed platform.
If they're hurt due to their negligence or the negligence of the employer
these lawyers won't handle. However
IF hurt by negligence of 3rd party
they WILL handle this (like another worker that's their on behalf of another company - working in the same place).
3) Foreign Voluntary workers compensation - drilling on West Coast of Africa
claims covered by maritime law
4) Jones Act: Seaman or crew members - but Only care about INJURED
