All these people living and working together puts a great deal of strain on a ship\u2019s physical facilities, such as walkways, stairwells, and handrails. This excessive use often causes ca\u00eddas graves<\/a>. Shipboard conditions increase the likelihood of a fall. Wet decks affect footing, and harsh sunlight affects vision.<\/p>\n Most cruise ships also carry huge amounts of diesel fuel, coal, or other highly flammable substances. Even a small fire could cause a major conflagration which can affect everyone onboard.<\/p>\n Passengers and crew almost never wear life preservers. If they fall overboard, they have little chance of survival.<\/p>\n Lesiones en piscina<\/a> son bastante comunes tambi\u00e9n. El ahogamiento no intencional es la principal causa de muerte de ni\u00f1os menores de cuatro a\u00f1os. La intoxicaci\u00f3n en piscinas tambi\u00e9n es un peligro grave. Los productos qu\u00edmicos para limpiar piscinas contienen cloro y otros ingredientes agresivos. Si el nivel qu\u00edmico es demasiado alto, los nadadores podr\u00edan sufrir quemaduras qu\u00edmicas graves. En el extremo opuesto del espectro, si el nivel del producto qu\u00edmico de limpieza es demasiado bajo, los nadadores podr\u00edan contraer infecciones bacterianas peligrosas.<\/p>\n Normally, if workers are injured on the job, these victims can rely on workers\u2019 compensation benefits. But workers\u2019 compensation rules do not apply on seagoing vessels. Instead, the Jones Act typically protects victims in these situations.<\/p>\n The Jones Act applies to \u201cseamen,\u201d which is anyone from a captain to a cabin boy. Specifically, this law defines seamen as people who spend at least 30 percent of their time working on a ship. So, longshoremen probably do not qualify for Jones Act relief, even though they spend some time aboard the ships they load or unload.<\/p>\n Employer responsibilities are clear under the Jones Act. This law requires ship owners or operators to:<\/p>\n Possible hazards include slippery or unsafe decks, malfunctioning equipment, lack of training or discipline, unsafe work methods, or lack of proper equipment.<\/p>\n Fishing consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous of all occupations. There are many equipment and other hazards. Furthermore, when something goes wrong, there may be no help nearby. The Jones Act covers injured fishermen and all other injured seamen.<\/p>\n To obtain compensation, victim\/plaintiffs must prove that the shipowner\u2019s negligence proximately caused the injury. For example, assume a sailor stumbles over a small oil patch at the same time the vessel pitches violently, and he falls. Mother Nature probably had more to do with the injury than the oil slick, but the oil slick may have played a part in the fall. So, the Jones Act applies.<\/p>\n The Jones Act burden of proof (proximate cause) is much lower than the burden of proof in civil court (a preponderance of the evidence, or \u201cmore likely than not\u201d). If the above example went to a normal civil court, there would probably not be enough evidence to obtain compensation.<\/p>\n Workers\u2019 compensation claims are usually limited to economic losses. But the Jones Act provides compensation for both economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering. Additional punitive damages may be available as well, in some extreme cases.<\/p>\n La Ley Jones se aplica ya sea que el barco est\u00e9 amarrado al muelle o en medio del Oc\u00e9ano Pac\u00edfico. Sin embargo, la ubicaci\u00f3n geogr\u00e1fica puede significar mucho cuando los pasajeros resultan heridos.<\/p>\n If the vessel was less than three miles away from shore, the closest state\u2019s law applies. Negligence laws vary significantly in different states. For example, the laws in a \u201cred\u201d state like Alaska are much different from the laws in a \u201cblue\u201d state like California.<\/p>\n Fortunately for victims, the bottom line is always the same. State law compensates victims for both economic and noneconomic losses, in almost all cases.<\/p>\n Si el crucero u otra embarcaci\u00f3n estaba a m\u00e1s de tres millas de la costa, se aplica la Ley federal de muerte en alta mar (DOHSA). Esta ley limita la compensaci\u00f3n por lesiones a p\u00e9rdidas pecuniarias, como facturas m\u00e9dicas, salarios perdidos y otras p\u00e9rdidas econ\u00f3micas, como gastos funerarios y de entierro en un muerte injusta<\/a> matter.<\/p>\n Wrongful death survivors may be able to file additional claims under a separate legal theory, such as negligent infliction of emotional distress, and obtain additional compensation for things like their grief and suffering over the loss of a loved one.<\/p>\n
