Build a seafarer injury issues table from the employment facts
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Record whether the papers describe the person as a seaman, an injury in the course of employment, and the employer. Write no conclusion on liability.
- What the lawyer must review
- 46 USC section 30104 provides that a seaman injured in the course of employment, or the personal representative if the seaman dies from the injury, may elect to bring a civil action at law, with the right of trial by jury, against the employer. Laws of the United States regulating recovery for personal injury to, or death of, a railway employee apply to that action. For that subsection, seaman does not include an aquaculture worker if state workers compensation is available and the worker was, at the injury, engaged in aquaculture in a place of lawful access. The statute does not, in the text opened here, state a maintenance-and-cure measure or a benefits schedule. You decide whether the person is a seaman. Opinion 512: do not invent a case.
