1Opinion of the CourtJustice Whiting
This case involves the interplay between the federal Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (the federal act), 33 U.S.C. §§ 901-950, and the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act (the state act), Code §§ 65.1-1 to -163. Specifically, we decide whether a worker injured in Virginia, covered by both acts but compensated under the federal act, can maintain a common-law negligence action against a party who is immune from such actions under the state act but not the federal act.
