With its unique focus, the American Bar Association book Damages Recoverable in Maritime Matters is now in its second edition, no doubt in part due to an important contribution from Chase Jansson, CJC Associate, Miami.

Chase drew on one of her many areas of expertise to contribute Chapter 2, Damages Recoverable by Seafarers (Jones Act and General Maritime Law), while also serving on the Editorial Committee for the book as a whole.

Written by many of the leading authorities in the field, the comprehensive guide includes references to the General Maritime Law of the United States, numerous federal statutes, state statutory remedies, case law, and the Supplemental Rules of Admiralty. The law of damages recoverable in maritime matters remains in flux, with Chase’s up-to-date insights therefore proving invaluable to a  publication which is becoming an essential resource for practitioners.
