Legal Question in Workers Comp in Louisiana

That will depend on whether you work on a platforms or vessels. If you primarily work on fixed platforms you would likely be considered a longshoreman and the claim would fall under the Longshore Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA). If you were working primarily on vessels (moveable drilling rigs, workboats, barges) you would likelt be considered a seaman and fall under maritime law and the Jones Act. I'd be happy to give you a free consultation on this matter. Please call me at 504-299-3458 and ask for Peirce Hammond. Look forward to talking with you.
