Experience Counts

Mr. Kelley has been handling injury cases of all types for almost 40 years. Due to his extensive experience in injury related matters, Mr. Kelley can handle both your workers compensation case and your personal injury case. No need for more than one attorney or multiple attorney fees.

The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA)

Don't trust your oil platform or longshore & harbor workers case to someone who only claims to handle these cases. Mr. Kelley is very experienced in these matters and can handle your longshore & harbor workers case, oil platform case, as well as any third party personal injury case from the same injury. No need for more than one attorney.



These benefits are paid directly by an authorized self-insured employer; or through an authorized insurance carrier; or, in particular circumstances, by a special fund administered directly by the Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs within the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) provides employment-injury and occupational-disease protection to approximately 500,000 workers who are injured or contract occupational diseases occurring on the navigable waters of the United States, or in adjoining areas, and for certain other classes of workers covered by extensions of this Act.

The Defense Base Act

The Defense Base Act provides workers' compensation protection to civilian employees working outside the United States on US military bases or under a contract with the U.S. government for public works or for national defense. The DBA Covers by extension off shore oil platforms, military bases in other countries, as well as those injured on government bases in the USA. Most extensions of the long shore and harbor workers act, such as the defense base act, deliver the same benefits as those provided by the long shore and harbor workers act.

Who is covered under the DBA?

The Defense Base Act covers the following employment activities:

  • Work for private employers on U.S. military bases or on any lands used by the U.S. for military purposes outside of the United States, including those in U.S. Territories and possessions.
  • Work on public work contracts with any U.S. government agency, including construction and service contracts in connection with national defense or with war activities outside the United States.
  • Work on contracts approved and funded by the U.S. under the Foreign Assistance Act, which among other things provides for cash sale of military equipment, materials, and services to its allies, if the contract is performed outside of the United States.
  • Work for American employers providing welfare or similar services outside the United States for the benefit of the Armed Services, e.g., the United Service Organizations (USO).

If any one of the above criteria is met, all employees engaged in such employment, regardless of nationality (including U.S. citizens and residents, host country nationals (local hires), and third country nationals (individuals hired from another country to work in the host country)), are covered under the Act.
