The situs for USL&H coverage refers to injuries or deaths resulting from an accident occurring where?

• A. The navigable water of the United States
• B. A land-based facility
• C. A non-navigable river
• D. An inland park

Answer: (A)

Accidents covered under USL&H are tied to the place where the injury occurs. The coverage applies when the injury happens on navigable waters of the United States or on adjacent areas used for maritime activity (like docks and piers). That means injuries on water or on those water-adjacent sites are within USL&H, while injuries on land-based facilities, on non-navigable rivers, or in inland parks do not meet the situs for this act. So the correct understanding is that the situs is the navigable waters of the United States.
