Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Serving Philadelphia and South Jersey

Maritime workers face serious risks every day—whether loading cargo, maintaining vessels, or working on docks and piers. When injuries happen on or near navigable waters, these workers may be protected under the federal Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), which provides essential benefits outside the traditional state Workers’ Compensation systems. At Freedman & Lorry, P.C., we help injured maritime workers in both Philadelphia and South Jersey access the support they need after a serious work-related injury.

In Philadelphia, the busy shipping port along the Delaware River is a vital economic engine—and a high-risk environment for maritime workers. Those hurt on the job may be entitled to federal LHWCA benefits, including medical care and wage replacement. However, the process can be complicated, especially when disputes arise over injury severity or eligibility. Our Philadelphia Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation lawyers can help you navigate your claim and fight for the benefits you deserve.

Along the South Jersey coastline and Delaware River, maritime industries such as shipping, commercial fishing, and ferry operations support the region’s economy. These physically demanding jobs can result in serious injuries that qualify for LHWCA coverage. Unfortunately, accessing benefits isn’t always straightforward. Our South Jersey Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation lawyers understand the challenges of these claims and are here to protect your rights every step of the way.
