The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) is a federal law that provides compensation, medical care, and vocational retraining to workers disabled on the job in traditional maritime occupations such as longshore workers, shipyard workers, and harbor construction workers.
Norm’s only area of practice, since 1979, is workers’ compensation. He devotes 95% of his time to representing injured workers subject to the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act and Defense Base Act and the remainder of his time representing injured workers subject to the Oregon Compensation Act.
