Workers' Compensation - Concurrent Jurisdiction - Longshore Act

Savoy v. WCAB (Global Associates), 2613 C.D. 2015 (Pa. Cmwlth., Aug. 25, 2016)

Holding: Employees injured while performing traditional maritime functions such as ship repair on a vessel that is "on the water" are not covered by the Worker's Compensation Act. Rather, the federal Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. § § 901 - 950, provides the exclusive remedy.
