Longshoremen's Actions For Unseaworthiness And Negligence, Peter G. Sandlund
Longshoremen's Actions For Unseaworthiness And Negligence, Peter G. Sandlund
Cleveland State Law Review
Seaworthiness within the field of the general maritime law, and negligence as applied under the Jones Act and the Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Act afford ample remedies to the parties covered by the respective acts and by the strict liability imposed upon the owner of an unseaworthy vessel. But by allowing recovery under theories that mix the two remedies the courts are creating an additional remedy not granted by Congress when it adopted the Jones Act and the Longshore Act.
