In Alex Shepherd v. Central Valley AG Transport, Inc., Daniel Weltin established Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act coverage for an outside truck driver, proving both situs and status. Truck drivers hurt at the port should not assume they are limited to state workers' compensation.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different.
The employer argued an outside trucker was not covered by the Longshore Act.
Proved both situs and status before the Department of Labor in Shepherd v. Central Valley AG Transport, Inc.
Longshore Act coverage established for the trucker.
100% permanent disability in California workers' comp, plus the $900,000 civil policy limits, for a worker hurt in a slip and fall.
$1.6 million recovery for a client injured in a slip and fall.
$3 million recovery for a client injured in a motor vehicle crash.
