Mais quand les choses tournent mal lors de ces voyages, l'incident se termine souvent tr\u00e8s mal. Loin du rivage, il n'y a pas d'intervenants d'urgence pour r\u00e9agir aux incendies et autres cataclysme<\/a>. Or, if someone on board develops a contagious disease, everyone else on board could be at risk. Collisions and other similar events are not uncommon either.<\/p>\n These claims are quite complex, because they may involve state law or U.S. law.

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 chutes 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 Blessures en piscine<\/a> sont \u00e9galement assez courants. La noyade accidentelle est la principale cause de d\u00e9c\u00e8s chez les enfants de moins de quatre ans. L'empoisonnement en piscine est \u00e9galement un danger s\u00e9rieux. Les produits chimiques de nettoyage de piscine contiennent du chlore et d'autres ingr\u00e9dients agressifs. Si le niveau chimique est trop \u00e9lev\u00e9, les nageurs pourraient subir de graves br\u00fblures chimiques. \u00c0 l'oppos\u00e9 du spectre, si le niveau de produits chimiques de nettoyage est trop bas, les nageurs pourraient contracter des infections bact\u00e9riennes dangereuses.<\/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 Le Jones Act s'applique que le navire soit amarr\u00e9 au quai ou au milieu de l'oc\u00e9an Pacifique. Cependant, l'emplacement g\u00e9ographique peut signifier beaucoup lorsque des passagers sont bless\u00e9s.<\/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 le navire de croisi\u00e8re ou un autre navire se trouvait \u00e0 plus de trois milles du rivage, la loi f\u00e9d\u00e9rale sur la mort en haute mer (DOHSA) s'applique. Cette loi limite l'indemnisation des blessures aux pertes p\u00e9cuniaires, telles que les frais m\u00e9dicaux, les pertes de salaire et d'autres pertes \u00e9conomiques, telles que les frais fun\u00e9raires et d'inhumation dans un mort injustifi\u00e9e<\/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
