Notable Cases

Seaman v. Cruise Line

$5.75 Million – Settlement – Jones Act

A cruise line employee presented himself to the ship’s infirmary for medical treatment. The cruise line deemed the employee unfit for work but was not able to fully diagnosis his condition. As such, the employee was taken to a hospital in the Caribbean which was the cruise line’s next port of call. While receiving medical care at the hospital, the crew member lapsed into a coma and was intubated. After spending a week in the hospital, he was airlifted to the United States where he received the appropriate medical attention. Under the Jones Act, our firm sought damages for the cruise line’s failure to provide adequate medical care. The settlement that was reached ensures that the crew member will be taken care of medically for the rest of his life.
