The Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA) is a federal law that covers onshore maritime workers, including stevedores, ship builders, and longshore workers, among others. The law ensures that workers receive medical care, disability compensation, and death benefits from injuries arising at work.
