The following are explanations to frequently asked questions concerning The Hartford Application:
THE LONGSHORE AND HARBOR WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT (LHWCA)
This act applies to workers in maritime employment other than masters or crew of vessels.
No Coverage Available.
THE JONES ACT
Also known as the Merchant Marine Act, this law and General Maritime Law apply to injuries to or death of master and crew of vessels involved in commerce on navigable bodies of water. The Jones Act applies the Federal Employers' Liability Act to these employees and requires the employee to prove negligence on the part of the employer or its employees or agents. The General Maritime Law (common law of the sea) recognizes the vessel owner's duty to provide a "seaworthy" vessel. A seaman injured because of a ship's alleged unseaworthiness may bring suit against the vessel itself ( an "in rem" suit) in addition to any negligence claim under the Jones Act.
No Coverage Available.
