If I am injured on a vessel, will I have to repay my employer for medical treatment from my settlement?
Video Transcription:
If you’re a John’s act crew member, you are entitled to maintenance and cure and you will not have to repay the employer for the medical care provided for you from a shipboard injury or an injury that occurs while you were, what we call in the service of the vessel. If on the other hand, you were a passenger and you were provided major medical through your employer, then, in that case, more than likely, the insurance company maintains a lean on any recovery you may obtain.
