Longshore & Defense Base Act (DBA) Mediation
Navigating the Complexities of Longshore and DBA Claims
Claims arising under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act and the Defense Base Act present unique legal and procedural challenges.
These cases often involve multiple stakeholders, federal statutes, significant medical issues, and substantial financial exposure. Effective mediation requires specialized knowledge and extensive experience navigating these highly regulated claims.
Prism Group has developed expertise in mediating Longshore claims and is expanding into the DBA arena throughout the Gulf Coast region. We understand the complexities associated with maritime employers, defense contractors, insurance carriers, and injured workers, allowing us to facilitate productive discussions that address both legal requirements and practical business considerations.
Our mediators recognize that these claims frequently involve participants from multiple states, extensive documentation, and sophisticated settlement structures. We help parties organize negotiations efficiently while ensuring each stakeholder has the opportunity to fully evaluate risks, expectations, and available options.
Whether conducted in person or through virtual mediation, our process emphasizes preparation, confidentiality, and collaboration. By creating an atmosphere where meaningful dialogue can occur, we help parties avoid unnecessary litigation expenses and move toward timely, informed resolutions.
