Description
Gary Kopczynski brought an admiralty action against Seward Marine Services for injury he sustained while employed as a crew member of The Jacqueline. Claims were brought for negligence under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. ? 688, unseaworthiness, maintenance and cure, and punitive damages. The jury found in Kopczynskis favor on all but the unseaworthiness claim. Seaward appeals claiming that punitive damages are not recoverable under the Jones Act. Kopczynski cross-appeals asserting that his Jones Act award should not have been reduced by the amount of his comparative negligence; the district court should have found The Jacqueline unseaworthy as a matter of law; and attorneys fees should have been awarded as an item of maintenance and cure. We affirm on all issues except the district courts award of punitive damages, which we reverse.
