IRMI Energy Risk and Insurance Conference - "Maritime Exposures," presenters: Adams and Reese attorneys Mark Spansel and Kyle Potts, Houston, Texas, March 6, 2013
Seminar summary: Maritime risks are sometimes perceived as only applying to operators and contractors working offshore. In reality, it is quite possible to stumble into maritime exposures unknowingly. This session explores the various laws that may apply to injured workers, including the U.S. Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, the Jones Act, the Death on the High Seas Act, and more.
