Seamen's injuries, the jones act, unseaworthiness

 

hello everyone welcome back again to my channel before watching this article don't forget to like comment and subscribe now let's start this article see men's injuries the chance act and silver thinness and maintains and cure the CMS triplets in a cm in a cement suite for personal injuries the complaint or libel may contain three crowns of coffee the unciviled thinner structure in maintains and cure and acclaim under the Chon's egg the appearance of these three claims in the same Suite give rise to many complex problems including gender of claims jury trials resurricata status of limitation removal of claims from estate to Federal Court through faithful and wrongful Dead action many timelines and the claims of foreign seamen the purpose of this comment is to examine the interrelation of these claims with an analysis of the problems arising from their being Prof in one suit although the three Crumbs are state in the complaint there is a great deal of overlapping as to the scope of recovery those recovery under unsilver thinness and John's ache claim is identical the injury cement is entitled to medical expenses past and prospective in the in the 90 for laws of earnings past and prospective and an amount on account of his physical injuries and for pain and suffering under maintains and cure the injury or seal or ill semen is entitled to maintain a living allowance sufficient to enable him to maintain himself in a manner comparable to that which he received a board ship medical expenses until he reached the point of Maximum recovery and wages computed to the end of The Voyage on which he had he was injured all the duplication of damage is not permitted with a cement recovers on both a chance act or unsuper thinnest claim and maintains and cure the burden of proofing such duplication often a difficult one is placed on the dividend the chance egg enacted by Congress in 1920 provides that a semen injured in the course of his employment by the negligence of the ship owner master or fellow crew member can recover damage for his injury the doctrine of uncivil thinners which is a part of General maritime law imposes the duty upon the ship owner to provide a seaworthy fossil based on personal or negligence but not on Street best note on negligence but on strict liability the ship owner is held liable for failure to perform this Duty maintains and cure also a part of the general maritime law provides a seaman with the right to maintains and cure for injury or illness occurring while he is in the surface of a ship this right based on the Siemens employment relationship does not depend on the ship owner's fault this tree claims different in their nature are often joined in a statement suit for personal injury and Prof in either one of the three places the Admiral design of the federal district court the Civil side of the federal district court or estate court where as such a joiner appears in a suit on the admiralty side or this or the Civil side of the federal district court brought there because of diverse city of citizenship the trainer present the difficulty however where there is no diversity and federal jurisdiction itself on the basis of federal equation the general of the three claims created problems when a student involving the trans egg and seaworthiness and maintains and cure is proved in a state called pursuing to the surfing to Sweeter clothes a jury trial may be obtained for all three games when such a suite is filed on the Civil side of the federal district court as on diverse city of citizenship a jury trial is like with obtainable for for all three claims but when diversity is lacking and a suit containing the three claims is Prof on the Civil side of the federal district court although a jury trial can be obtained for the game under the Jones act as respect the unsuper thinners and the maintains and cure claims the question is unresolved in a later case the core again expressively refused to decide the question leaving to the courts of appeals the task of working out their own solution the second secret when faced when faced with sweet containing trans egg and silver thinners and maintenance and cure claims filled on the Civil side of the federal district court in non-diverse City cases has sent the children's act an unsuper thinnest claims to the jury and tried to maintains and cure claims to the court the fifth circuit has also sent the trans egg and uncivil thinnest claims to the jury moreover when a maintains and cure claim was sent to the jury along with Jon's act and uncivil Tennis claims the fifth circuit declared on appeal that this was not an abuse of discretion by the trial judges there is some indication that the second secret might follow this result hence the two general maritime law claims of unsuber thinness and of Maintenance and cure have been tripped differently as respect trying than before a as respect trying them before a jury there is much to be said for trying all three claims to the jury it has been urged that reason of judicial economy as well as the danger of duplication of damage called for a joint trying of this claim in addition there are other com there are other coupling risks in addition there are other coupling reasons why the trans act and uncivil thinners claims should be tried together the trans Act and the uncivil thinnest claim are considered as one cause of action giving rise to giving rise to but one recovery where both claims arise out of the same sex thus it has been helped that the bringing of an uncivil Dentistry will act as a part to a subsequent transaction based on the same fake to try one claim to the jury and the other claim to the judge would divide one cause of action for the purpose of the model of trial it is not surprising that no case has been found where a suit containing both a trans act and unsuper thinners claim Prof on the Civil side of the federal district court without diverse City result in the Jones I claim being trying being tried to the jury and the uncivil fitness claim being tried to the court all of the claim of Maintenance and cure is generally separate and independent from the chance act and uncivil thinetics claims judicial economy and the avoidance of duplication of damage suggests that a jury tire for a three claims it's still the parallel solution whether or not maintains and cure claim is based on the same facts as the as the other two claims the Supreme Court held that a judgment on a claim for personal injury based on uncivil thinners will be a certification of a claim for the same injury based on the trans Act this result is based on the reasoning that because the Siemens suffered a single wrongful infection of a single primary right but claim must be tried in the same Suite as respect the maintenance and cure claim however the bringing of such a suit does not borrow a subsequent sweet pass on the trans act or uncivered thinners even where the claims arise from the facts attacked another semen with a mid clever on board the ship the district judge is the case instructor the jury that unless the ship owner knew or should have known of the attacker's fishiest nature he should not be held liable the second circuit reserved and remained the case holding that the doctrine of SeaWorld thinners does not require that an that an owner have knowledge of an attacker's Savage dispersion disposition as a condition of liability okay everyone that's all this article today thank you so much for watching this
