The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) is a United States federal law that provides compensation and medical care to maritime workers who are injured or become ill while working on navigable waters or adjacent areas, such as docks and piers. Enacted in 1927, the LHWCA is designed to cover workers who are not covered by the Jones Act or the Merchant Marine Act, which primarily apply to seamen.
