Maritime RTW Program (MRTW)

Additional Info:

Maritime workers’ compensation claims, particularly Longshore & Harbor (LHWCA) and Defense Base Act (DBA) claims, pose significant financial risks for carriers and employers, with weekly benefit levels exceeding $1,300. In the current landscape, the imperative for carriers and insureds to mitigate exposure and efficiently close out claims have reached unprecedented levels.

RTW Florida specializes in serving maritime carriers and employers, with a strategic focus on reducing exposure. Our ground-breaking approach involves actively sourcing viable employment opportunities through direct engagement with employers, coupled with robust advocacy for claimants. The backbone of our program lies in the meticulous execution of Labor Market Surveys, providing realistic wage earning capacities and thereby creating leverage for favorable outcomes. Our certified counselors conduct comprehensive, in-person assessments of claimants, securing physician approvals for all job placements, and confirming job availability only after receiving the requisite medical clearance.
