General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Injuries sustained by employees working on new vessels under construction and afloat upon navigable waters are not excluded from the coverage of the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act by § 3(a) thereof, although recovery for such injuries may validly be had under a state workmen’s compensation law. Pp. 115-131.
2. Acceptance by such an employee of payments under a state workmen’s compensation law does not constitute an election of the remedy under the state law which precludes recovery under the Longshoremen’s Act. Pp. 131-132.
293 F.2d 51, 52, reversed.
