Grady Hurley, a partner in and co-leader of the maritime arbitration and litigation team, authored the article “Court Rules ‘Game Over’ for Jones Act Seamen Seeking Punitive Damages,” published in Professional Mariner. Grady analyzes the Supreme Court decision in Dutra Group v. Batterton, which held Jones Act seamen could not seek punitive damages for personal injuries caused by an unseaworthy vessel, and explains that the ruling brings certainty and uniformity under maritime law.
