Have you been paid any benefits under either state or federal comp? Also, did you ever file a claim or have anyone file one for you?

Feel free to call us to discuss.

To find the insurer, I would advise contacting the Department of Labor office in New York to see if they have “insurance cards” on that individual employer. Unfortunately, there is no online reference, rather there are paper references to each company’s insurance. For Defense Base Act cases, the inurance listings are in the New York office. I am not sure if this might be different for regular Longshore claims. If you continue to have difficulty finding this information, let me know I would be happy to help.

The state (Ga.) has refused to pay anything since my accident and I am trying to get help. I was an
OGC inspector, just finishing up with the ship, stepped on the near verticle gangway to exit the boat. The gangway shifted and down I went. Spent nearly six months in hospital then developed DVT’s in both legs and am now disabled. I just need to find out who is the insurance company. Thanks for any help.
