Have You Been Injured Working on the Mississippi Coast? Don’t Let a Longshore Injury Sink Your Finances: Here’s the Shocking Truth About Mississippi Longshore Average Weekly Wage Calculations (and How You Can Get What You Deserve)

Listen up, Mississippi longshoreman! You need to know about your Mississippi Longshore average weekly wage if you get injured at Bollinger Shipyards or Ingalls.

You work hard, you brave the elements, and you keep our economy afloat. But what happens if injury strikes and you’re left high and dry?

Don’t get taken advantage of by a system that seems rigged against you.

The truth is, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWC) exists to protect you, but its legal jargon can leave you confused and frustrated.

That’s where I, your legal crusader, come in. Forget stuffy lawyers who play phone tag and leave you in the dark. You can set your own office meetings and phone appointments with me online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This eliminates the phone and email tag nonsense.

I’m here to cut through the BS and fight for what you deserve because if you don’t know what your Mississippi Longshore average weekly wage is, you are going to get the short end of the stick.

But before you even think about calling any lawyer, including me (especially the one who gouged you in the past!), there’s something crucial you NEED to understand: Average Weekly Wage (AWW).

Mississippi Longshore Average Weekly Wage: The Anchor of Your Longshore Case (and Why It Matters More Than You Think)

The LHWC bases your compensation on your AWW at the time of the injury.

This seemingly simple concept can get murky fast. See, AWW determines how much money you get every week while you recover.

Let’s translate legalese into cold, hard cash. A higher AWW means more money in your pocket, plain and simple.

Now, the LHWC has a formula for calculating AWW. It sounds straightforward: take your annual earnings and divide by 52 weeks. But here’s the shocking truth: there’s more to the story than meets the eye.

Section 910(a): The AWW Calculation Trap (and How to Avoid It)

The LHWC throws a curveball with Section 910(a). It says if you worked “substantially the whole year” before your injury, your AWW is based on a specific number of days worked (300 for a six-day worker, 260 for a five-day worker). This might seem fair, but what if you:

• Had a slow season?
• Took some vacation time?
• Got injured early in the year?

Under Section 910(a), these situations can LOWER your AWW, meaning less money in your pocket when you need it most.

That’s where most lawyers drop the ball.

They blindly follow this formula, even if it hurts your case.

The Legal Crusader’s Advantage: Why I Fight for Your True AWW

Here’s the difference between me and those other lawyers: I don’t play by the book if the book works against you. If Section 910(a) underestimates your earning potential, I’ll fight for an alternative method based on:

• Similar workers’ wages
• Industry standards
• Overtime pay
• Other relevant factors

The goal? Get you the highest possible AWW so you can recover financially while you heal.

But Wait, There’s More! Don’t Get Stuck in the Lawyer Trap

Here’s the dirty secret of the legal industry: most lawyers pressure you to hire them immediately.

They want you locked in before you understand your options. That’s NOT how I roll.
