Lusher Law | Dedicated Maritime Injury Advocacy

Fighting for Injured Seamen, Longshoremen, and Harbor Workers

Lusher Law is a plaintiff-only maritime law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of injured maritime workers. Whether you labor out at sea or on the docks, maritime working conditions are among the most perilous in the world. Maritime corporations and their insurance defense teams utilize complex federal admiralty laws to exploit workers and minimize payouts. We stand firmly on the side of the maritime worker, bringing deep legal expertise to level the playing field, protect your livelihood, and secure the maximum compensation you deserve.

 

We only represent injured maritime workers—never vessel owners, never employers, and never insurance companies.

 

​

​

  • ​The Jones Act & Crew Claims: Representing commercial fishermen, deckhands, tugboat  crews, and offshore workers injured due to employer negligence or vessel  unseaworthiness.

 

  • Longshore & Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA): Advocating for longshoremen, harbor workers, ship repairers, and shipbuilders to secure medical care and statutory disability benefits.

 

  • Maintenance and Cure: Forcing vessel employers to pay your full daily living stipends and medical expenses during your recovery, regardless of fault.

​

  • Section 905(b) Third-Party Claims: Pursuing lawsuits against negligent vessel owners and third-party contractors when harbor workers are injured by unsafe ships or equipment.

​

  • Catastrophic Maritime Injuries: Handling high-stakes litigation for career-ending maritime casualties and representing families in wrongful death actions.

​

 

​

 

  • Uncompromising Loyalty: Zero conflicts of interest; our allegiance belongs solely to the worker, never corporate maritime entities.

 

  • Admiralty Jurisdiction Expertise: Comprehensive knowledge of specialized federal timelines, navigation laws, and the complex boundaries between seaman and harbor worker status.

 

  • Aggressive Courtroom Advocacy: Fighting back against corporate legal teams and insurance delay tactics to maximize your financial recovery.
