About

Dupree Law at 1715 Strand Way, Suite 203, in Coronado, 92118, is a maritime and federal workers' compensation practice overlooking Glorietta Bay that has represented injured dockworkers, longshoremen, and overseas defense contractors since 1979. Longshore Act claimants often sustain injuries at San Diego Bay shipyard operations involving commercial vessel maintenance coordinated through yards and marine services including Dock Side Boat Repair in the Coronado Cays. The founding attorney holds a 1979 J.D. from UC Hastings College of the Law, State Bar #88260, and is admitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the Northern, Eastern, Central, and Southern District Courts of California. The practice has litigated claims against major San Diego maritime employers including NASSCO, SSA Terminals, and Vortex Marine Construction under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, Defense Base Act, and Jones Act. Coronado's bayfront position at the mouth of San Diego Bay — with Glorietta Bay Marina directly below the office — places the firm at the geographic center of the port's injury-claim corridor. The most complex matters involve concurrent federal Longshore Act administrative hearings and Jones Act jury trials addressing maintenance-and-cure obligations, unseaworthiness claims, and Defense Base Act coverage disputes for civilian contractors injured at overseas military installations.
