Longshoreman Insurance is a required insurance coverage for many contractors and workers that work in and around a body of water.  The Longshore and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act (LHWCA) was passed by Congress in 1927 and protects over 679,000 workers who may be injured or have an employment-related injury or occupational disease on navigable waters of the United States of America, or in adjoining areas.  Longshoreman Insurance is the federal type of workers compensation insurance. It is usually more expensive due to the nature of the work. Contractors and Staffing Agencies should not release a legal binding bid without first checking our how much Longshoreman Insurance and other marine insurance coverages such as Marine Employers Liability, Marine General Liability and Jones Act Insurance (among other potential coverages) will cost you.  Whether you need Longshoreman Insurance or need to know what Longshoreman Insurance will cost you in Florida, California, or anywhere from coast to coast in the USA, longshoremaninsurance.com can help.
