The court summarized a case involving a wrongful death lawsuit brought under the Jones Act. The seaman James Naylor died from injuries sustained while securing a hatch during a storm. The jury awarded $115,000 but the defendant appealed alleging several errors. The court found that the delay in securing cargo booms was not causally related to the accident. It also found errors in excluding evidence and admitting certain statements. The court reversed the judgment and remanded the case for a new trial.
