Resolve Marine Hit With Jones Act Lawsuit After Boat Crashes Into Jetty
Two employees of Resolve Marine Group and its subsidiaries have filed suit against the company, claiming that the captain of one of the companies' boats ran the boat into a jetty, causing the men serious and permanent injuries.The two men are claiming lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and other damages and injuries.
The Jones Act provides some of the strongest legal protections for personal injury and damage. For example, in this case, it appears as if an "allision" has occurred. (An "allision" is a maritime term for striking a fixed object).
Under the Jones Act and general maritime law, when an allision occurs, and someone is hurt, the courts presume that the company was negligent. This is different from land-based claims, in which the injured person almost always has to prove the company was at fault.
