The questions your team needs answered
Every longshore and harbor workers lhwca intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Did you get hurt or become ill because of your work? | Confirms a work-related injury or illness, the baseline fact that any LHWCA claim depends on. |
| Did this happen while you were doing port, dock, shipyard, terminal, or ship-related work (like loading/unloading, repairing, building, or maintaining vessels)? | Distinguishes true port/dock/vessel-related duties from unrelated work, which is what separates LHWCA fit from other injury claims. |
| Did it happen on or near the water, such as on a dock, pier, shipyard, terminal, or on a vessel? | Locating the injury on or near navigable water is a core jurisdictional element of an LHWCA claim, so it carries urgent weight. |
| Were you working for an employer (not self-employed) at the time it happened? | LHWCA generally requires an employer-employee relationship, so a 'no' here signals the claim may not fit this statute. |
| Did you miss work, need medical treatment, or have lasting symptoms because of it? | Missed work, treatment, or lasting symptoms show there's a real, compensable injury rather than a minor incident. |
| Did the injury or illness happen within the last 3 years? | Flags whether the claim may be running into a filing deadline, which affects how quickly you need to act. |
| Can you identify the employer or company you were working for when it happened? | Being able to name the employer makes it easier to verify the claim and pursue benefits, though not knowing it doesn't rule the case out. |

Common longshore and harbor workers lhwca lead scenarios
Dockworker hurt loading cargo
Recent injury on a pier while working for an identified employer, with medical treatment and missed work — every high-value signal fires and the lead routes straight to your CRM.
Symptoms surfacing years later
The intake's 3-year window question flags a claim reported outside the recent-injury range, so you can screen for statute-of-limitations issues before booking a consultation.
Contractor unsure of employer
A self-employed shipyard worker or one who can't name their employer answers 'no' on the employment question, lowering the score so you know to dig deeper before offering time.
Injury off the water entirely
When the location and vessel-work questions both come back 'no,' the intake signals this may not be an LHWCA matter at all, prompting a look at whether it fits Jones Act Seamen Claims instead.

Longshore and Harbor Workers LHWCA lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate LHWCA claims from Jones Act seamen claims?
The questions on where the injury happened and whether it involved port, dock, or vessel work are the same signals used to route land-based or dock-based injuries here, while claims describing work as a vessel crew member point toward the Jones Act Seamen Claims sibling instead.
What happens if a prospective client was self-employed?
The employment-status question weights a 'no' answer much lower than 'yes,' since LHWCA generally requires an employer-employee relationship, so those leads score lower and surface for manual review rather than being scored as urgent.
Does the intake check whether the claim is still within the filing window?
Yes — the intake asks whether the injury or illness happened within the last 3 years, and answers outside that window lower the score so you can flag a possible timing issue before the consultation.
What if the client can't remember who they were working for?
Not knowing the employer name reduces the score slightly but doesn't disqualify the lead outright, since that detail is often confirmed once you're retained and can request records.
What documents does the intake collect before a lead reaches my CRM?
It requests items like an incident or accident report, medical treatment records, and proof of employment, so you have the basics on file before deciding whether to schedule a consultation.
Can this intake catch offshore or oilfield injuries by mistake?
The work-type question asks specifically about port, dock, shipyard, terminal, or ship-related tasks, which helps separate this subservice from Offshore and Oilfield Injuries claims that involve different vessels or platforms.
