Maritime Law-Personal Injury. A welder who had been injured on a ship did not qualify for seaman status under the Jones Act, since the welder was injured while employed by a contractor for specific discrete short-term jobs and work on the vessel was performed while it was jacked-up with the barge deck level with a dock and gangplank away from shore; overruling Naquin v. Elevating Boats LLC, 744 F.3d 927.-Sanchez v. Smart Fabricators of Texas LLC (C.A.5-Texas), No. 19-20506, May 11, 2021, Davis, J., 2021 WL 1882565. |
